Q: What is the Volunteer Fee and what does it entail?
A: To promote participation by all families, a $50 volunteer fee for each family will be charged at registration. If the family volunteers for the organization through the season, (coaches or in another capacity  like snack shack duty, picnic setup, events management), the fee will be returned at end of the season. If the family does not volunteer by the end of the season, the fee will be retained.
