Volunteers

Spring 2025 Volunteer Policy

Warrior Lacrosse runs on volunteers and functions only through the efforts of our member/parent volunteers. Every family plays a role in making our season a success.

The volunteer hour requirement for the 2025 season is eight (8) hours for one player. For families with multiple players, the volunteer requirement is ten (10) hours for the household. Alternatively, a family may opt to “buy-out” their volunteer hours at the beginning of the season for $250 for one player or $275 for multiple players.  If chosen, no volunteer hours will be required from that family for the season. If you do not choose the buyout or complete the required hours (8 hours for one player, 10 hours for multiple players) by the last game of the season, the credit card used for registration will be charged $250 or $275 respectively.  There is no proration of completed hours. Some families fulfill their requirements by doing full-year or full-season jobs (Board Members, Directors, Coaches, Equipment or Team Parents). The rest of our families work at the games or club events in a wide range of positions to fulfill their volunteer requirement including but not limited to:

Head coach

Coaches the team the entire season. Training and support is provided.

Assistant coach

Assists the Head Coach the entire season. Training and support is provided.

Game day jobs

These jobs are specifically related to game days. Examples are field set up and take down, sideline manager, scorekeeper, timer, spotter, or equipment return.

Club events

Assist in club wide events selling apparel, organizing vendors, working concession booths, set up and take down, and other tasks to run successful events.

Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age. It is the volunteer’s responsibility to sign in with your team manager for your shift or your hours will not count. If it is not possible to check in with your team manager for some reason, please email executivedirector@diablovalleylacrosse.com and copy your team manager to claim your hours.
