Volunteer

Every family volunteers. It is how the season runs at all.

Each family provides a $200 volunteer bond, preferably by cheque dated 1 December. It is returned once equipment is handed back and a volunteer commitment has been met — the cheque is not cashed if you volunteer.

There are four ways to meet it: one game shift, a three-hour shift at a fundraising event, donating a raffle prize worth $200 or more, or helping with player meals.

A game needs seven volunteers: three on the chain crew, two in the canteen and two selling 50/50. Varsity parents are welcome to take a JV shift so they can watch their own child play.

The volunteer coordinator is the person to ask, and the address below reaches whoever holds that role.

What still needs filling

These are the shifts nobody has taken yet. Each one opens on the club’s sign-up sheet, at that shift.

Shifts are booked on the club’s sign-up sheet, which opens in a new tab.

Put your name down

Tell the club how you can help and the volunteer coordinator will be in touch before the season starts. Nothing here commits you to a particular shift.
