Question 3

Volunteer Fee

Accepted Answer

$50.00 additional due at registration. This will be refunded at the end of the season for anyone who volunteers and fulfills their commitment. Team Parent or coach is an obvious way to earn back the fee. Helping set up or take down fields is another way to earn back the volunteer fee. Keep an eye on our Facebook for those opportunities.

Question 4

Fundraising

Accepted Answer

An additional $40.00 fundraising fee will be added to all registration costs. Your fundraising fee will get you 8-$5.00 raffle tickets. You can then sell the tickets to put the $40 back in your pocket. 15 tickets will be pulled throughout the season. (5 winners pulled on 3 separate dates) Each winner will receive $100.00. Winners must be 18 or older. Raffle tickets can be turned in at picture day and one additional game day.

Simply, it costs the club more money to put on those programs. Fields are bigger, requiring more paint. Balls and equipment cost more at the increased sizes as well.
