How can I volunteer?

 

  • Each cheer squad is required to have 2 parent volunteers to do the 50/50 raffle during their home games.  The cheer coach will contact you before the season starts to get these positions filled. 
  • Teams may seek parents to host team parties or competition morning breakfasts.

It takes all of us as volunteers to run this program so please volunteer as you can.  An hour of your time goes a very long way!
