Concession Duty
All families must volunteer their time at least twice during the season (this is for home games only)

Homecoming Parade
Two or more volunteers are needed to help coordinate

Cheerleading Gifts
You may volunteer to help buy, assemble, deliver or give ideas

Caravans
We will arrange at least two caravans when we have away games. We will decorate our vehicles, have some food before we leave and then caravan to the game together.

* Team drinks at each game
