1.  Lakes United requires that all member families volunteer time to support the activities/events/ administration of the club.  The minimum commitment is 4 hours volunteering per player for the first 2 players per family, for maximum of 8 hours.  This helps to defer a significant portion of the costs of running the Association and provides much needed manpower that ensures our club’s success.  The primary volunteer events are the spring picnic and the June tournament, in addition to various committee participation, fundraising administration, field lining, or other association needs. Participation in fundraising is voluntary but is strongly encouraged and greatly appreciated!

2.  All registering players must also pay an additional $50 volunteer fee ($100 max per family) which the club will hold until August 1^st.  Assuming all volunteer hours have been met, Lakes United will not cash this $50 check.  If these hours have not been met Lakes United will cash on August 15^th, 2012.

3.  All Volunteer checks need to be turned into your Team Manager or Coach, whether you send in a paper packet or register online.
