Volunteers are what keep our fields maintained and our tournaments running smoothly and successfully. Each family is required to contribute at least 4 hours of volunteer time each season in order to have their $150 volunteer fee (paid upon registration) refunded. Volunteer hours are NOT prorated.

Here are a few important things to note:

• While we encourage families to volunteer together as a learning opportunity, minors do NOT count toward your 4-hour requirement. The 4 hours should be accounted for by parents/guardians/adults.
• All minors helping in concessions must be accompanied by an adult.
• Anyone under the age of 14 helping in our concessions area should NOT handle any money!  
• If you sign up for a field maintenance slot (dragging/chalking) during our tournaments, there will not be training available for these tasks so PLEASE only sign up for those timeslots if you know how to do them.  
• Lastly, when signing up for volunteer time slots – Please pay close attention to the day, time, and the actual field location assigned to each sign-up opportunity. There are signup slots for many fields around town during the tournaments, so it is important you are present where you are signed up for.  

Our mission is to provide a fun and competitive summer ball experience focused on teamwork, sportsmanship and skill building.

Any youth meeting the age requirements that lives within or attends the La Crescent-Hokah School District ISD #300 would be eligible to participate.
