Volunteer Program Details

 

  • The $100 fee is paid per child in the fall season.

  • 4 Hours minimum of volunteer time is required per household

  • The volunteer hours can be fulfilled from August 1st through to June 30th of the calendar year. (Fall or Spring)

  • All Team Staff Volunteers must have a valid Criminal Record Check & Respect In Sport Certification.

How Does it Work?

  • All team volunteers must be registered in our registration system to be assigned to teams.

  • Other opportunities will be posted as available. Emails are sent out periodically based on the event and the opportunities.

​

How Do I Get My Volunteer Bond/Fee back?

 

  • Volunteer fees are returned in the form of a credit code. If you have paid your Bond/Fee and completed 4 hours or more you will receive a credit code. Credit codes are sent out in April prior to the start of the following fall registration. The code is used during the fall registration process and will credit the Volunteer fee for that upcoming fall season. The code can be used for any child (U5-U18) in the household that is registering for the fall league season.

  • If you have volunteered and are leaving the club, or your child has aged out, your original Volunteer Bond will be returned at the end of the season.

  • For all Volunteer Team Staff – codes are not given to team staff that do not have a valid CRC or the Respect in Sport certification.

  • New Spring Volunteer Team Staff – codes are not given to new spring staff who were not part of the fall season and have not paid the volunteer Bond/Fee.

  • If you did not Volunteer within the playing season, your bond will not be returned.
