The club relies 100% on volunteers to operate. Without the volunteers, the club would have to charge another $300.00 - 350.00 per player. This would mean putting the game of football out of reach of many parents, especially those with two or three children playing.

In order to distribute the work load between parents, our team mangers along with our volunteer coordinator will contact you to see where you fit into our volunteer program. We are looking for parents to contribute no less than 10 hours volunteer time during the season. This may range from working in the concession, to holding the down and yard markers for a game, or helping set up the game field or picking up the garbage at the end of home games, selling 50/50 tickets at home games or raffle tickets at a special fundraiser. Parents who are already working as coaches, trainers, managers or executive members are not required to volunteer additional time. We also recognize that there are parents who, because of work commitments and other family priorities are unable to volunteer.

Upon registration, you will be requested to provide a post dated cheque for $100.00 for December 1. Provided you have completed your minimum 10 hours of volunteer work, you will have your cheque returned to you. If your family is unable to volunteer during the season, then your cheque will be cashed and the monies will go towards the operating costs of the club. These two policies were agreed to and voted on at the Annual General Meeting in January 1999.

Some of the opportunities to volunteer are:

• setting up fields • concession • fund raising • 50/50 ticket sales
• announcing • managing teams • line painting • game markers (chains)
• coaching • first aid • bingo volunteers • post-game clean-up
….the list goes on and on. There would be no football without your help.
