GET INVOLVED!

Palos Verdes Mavericks is a non-profit organization that relies on 100% volunteers.  We have many roles that you can be nvolved within your squad, association, or league level.

For the 2025 season, each family will be required to volunteer in order to assist Mavericks with association (and / or league) level.  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 2025 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 association level  volunteer 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 Palos Verdes Youth Football & Cheer, Inc. and will be collected at the Mandatory Cheer Parents Meeting in May 2025.  No additional deposit days will be arranged, but coaches and team managers will be contacted to collect any outstanding deposit checks.
