Parent Participation
The success of our organization relies heavily on parental participation and accordingly, each participating player or cheerleader parent is required to volunteer for work shifts per participating child on different squads during the course of the 2012 season. Exactly how many hours are needed will vary greatly upong the size of your team. This participation requirement can be fulfilled performing one of many necessary functions including concessions attendant, minimum play recording, scoreboard operation, home game announcing, home game chains attendant or game videographer.
Below are the descriptions of our Parent Participation opportunities for 2012. Although some have a larger time commitment than others, remember that like all participation, you get out of it what you put in! If you have any questions, please e-mail our Parent Participation Coordinator.
