VOLUNTEER and Get Involved!!!
Our league is run completely on a volunteer basis. For a season to run efficiently, we ask that each family plan to volunteer throughout the season. Please reach out to Kelly Coleman if you are interested in a specific volunteer position within the league. Coaches, Team Moms, and Board Members will be posting in chat groups where help is needed also. It is important that each family donates a few hours of their time each season!
