What are the Travel Requirements?
We are fortunate to have several clubs in the greater bay area. The majority of games will be within a hour's drive of Walnut Creek. Families can expect at least one long trip during the season (for example, Sacramento area). Team Managers often will assist with arranging carpools. Warrior home games are played on fields in our territory. Some past fields have included: Northgate H.S., Carondelet Athletic Complex and Clayton Valley Charter.
What are the parent obligations and how can I help?
We need volunteers. Parents are required to be involved in whatever way they can. Parent volunteer time averages around 10 hours for the season. Some examples of parent volunteer jobs are; coaching, team manager, field maintenance, game set up and take down, score keeping, special events, etc.
