WHAT IF I WANT A REFUND?
Our goal is to be flexible and fair. We ask for you to understand our needs of a time frame wherein we can fairly respond. Once teams have been formed and uniforms ordered, barring highly unusual/unforeseen circumstances, refunds will not be issued.
HOW CAN I HELP OUT?
Each team needs volunteers and your support is key to ensuring a successful league for the girls. Your fees do not pay any salaries - we are all volunteers! Here are positions you may consider:
*Manager: Total administrative and operational responsibility for your team.
*Head Coach or Assistant Coach: Primary role is to teach the girls and assist the manager.
*Team Parent: Administrative right arm of the manager ensuring that non-operational tasks required are supported and that the league communication loop is open to all parents.
*Chaperone: Assist manager in the dugout area during games and be responsible to ensure the welfare
of the girls. Chaperones must be females 18+ years.
*Scorekeeper: Maintain the game records for the team and ensure that the game publicity provides
recognition to both individual girls as well as to the team (training available).
*Field Prep: Drawing baselines and equipment set-up/storage (training available).
*Sponsor: A fee of $250.00 per team is needed to offset the expenses of the program not included in
registration fees. You or your company can help by recruiting or being a sponsor.
