Each Recreation player is expected to volunteer at least 3 hours during the season.

The volunteer requirement includes all Recreation players ages 2-19, in any of the Club’s Recreation, Rec Plus, Soccer Tots, and additional programs. There is a $35 per season volunteer buy out for each Rec PLAYER not meeting the volunteer requirement.
