GET INVOLVED!
Palos Verdes Youth Football and Cheer (Mavericks) is a volunteer driven organization that relies on parent contribution and support. All parents are expected to participate in volunteer activities throughout the season. The more we get involved as parents, the more rewarding the experience is for kids, parents, and everyone.
New for the 2024 season, each family will be required to volunteer in order to assist Mavericks with game day and event operations. Each family will be obligated to provide a check as a deposit for their commitment to volunteer during the season. The amount of required volunteer shifts per family will be determined each season by the Board of Directors.
For the 2024 fall season, each family will be required to provide a volunteer deposit check in the amount of $150.00 per child. Should you choose to volunteer, you will be required to work one shift for each deposit check provided in order to receive a refund of your deposit check(s).
All deposit checks should be made out to PVYF&C will be collected at the equipment distribution day. No additional deposit days will be arranged, but coaches and team managers will be contacted to collect any outstanding deposit checks.
