Volunteerism and Volunteer Bonds
At the start of the lacrosse season, a volunteer bond will be collected for each registered player in IMLA. This may be paid through registration fees. The bond will be held until the end of the season and upon completion of the required association related volunteer hours at tournaments, concession and other IMLA fundraising activities throughout the season. Board members and head coaches will have their club hours fulfilled for one registrant. Assistant coaches, managers and trainers will be considered 50% fulfilled. Currently this volunteer bond is set at $150.00.
Tournament Donation: Each registrant is required to donate a raffle table prize with a minimum value or $50.00 for our tournament. Alternatively, $50.00 can be paid upfront with registration fees or the registraint can organize a donation of a raffle table prize or tournament sponsor for our tournament .
Volunteer Hours: Each registrant is to complete 10 hours of club volunteer time. Additional registrants within the same immediate family will be required to complete 5 hours of volunteer time per registrant. (Example: a family with 4 players would be required to volunteer 25 hours) This is what helps keep our club fees down. Hours can be earned through a variety of activities; tournament shifts outside of game duties (i.e. raffle table, 50/50 sales, concession), regular season concession hours, other club fundraisers that IMLA is offering.)
Team Duties: Each Team is responsible for their own team game day duties (jersey parents, time and score box shifts, etc) and declaring a manager of their team. Each team is also responsible to provide a tournament/ festival representative to the tournament committee so that information is communicated back effectively from the board to the team. Team duty hours do not count towards club volunteer hours as they are specific to running the team.
