Overview: Points

A team receives one (1) point for every volunteer that shows up and works an entire two-hour shift. No one under the age of 16 will be allowed to volunteer.

Competitive Teams (10U-14U)

Each team can receive a total of three (3) volunteer points when they fulfill their required volunteer shifts by the end of the season. You will be assigned your volunteer shifts (hopefully by the Team Managers meeting, otherwise it will be emailed to ALL Coaches and Team Managers before the season starts.) If you do not show up for an assigned shift, your team will not receive their points. Therefore, your teams will not be eligible for playoffs.
