Family Involvement and Volunteer Requirements

 

The Vail Valley Lacrosse Club (VVLC) is a non-profit organization based in Eagle County with a volunteer board of directors. In an effort to keep registration fees as affordable as possible, retain consistent, qualified coaches and provide the best youth lacrosse experience, the club relies heavily on the generosity and support of volunteers and participating family involvement.

  • VVLC has implemented a mandatory volunteer requirement of 4 hours per season for all participating families.
  • There are many ways for families to volunteer throughout the season. However, if a family is not interested in volunteering, they may opt out of the volunteer requirement and will be billed a $200 club contribution fee.
  • The volunteer requirement is posted on our website and included as a form which each parent will acknowledge during the registration process for each season.
  • Volunteer positions/activities will be listed and tracked through Crossbar and linked to each participant’s Crossbar account.

  • Parent coach: Volunteer to help coach your child’s team this spring season, contact Brian Welch ([email protected]) for details.
