Our Volunteer Policy

The organization is run entirely by volunteers, allowing us to keep the cost of joining Rapids Rec Soccer affordable for your family. Your commitment to volunteering helps us have an enjoyable and successful season. Thank you for volunteering your time for our organization!

Your family is required to complete two hours of volunteer time this season per family, OR you may choose to pay the $100 volunteer buyout.

Only approved volunteer duties will qualify as fulfilling the two-hour volunteer commitment per family. These duties include:

• collating coach and parent packets

• jersey sorting

• meet & greet volunteer

• referee advocate

• concession stand

• field setup/take down (2 one-hour shifts required)

• volunteer check-in

• coach/*co-coach (*must be on record with the Rapids Rec Soccer board for approval for the current season)

• an active member of the board

If you choose not to volunteer, again, you may pay the $100 buyout when registering your player(s) for the upcoming soccer season.

Note: If you do not complete your volunteer shift or contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Brenda Swan, about your absence and provide an explanation, you will not be allowed to claim another volunteer shift for the season, and the $100 buyout fee will be added to your 'Household" account on our website.

We understand that sometimes things happen, and a player may not want or be able to continue the season. Please know that we offer no refunds unless it's for a medical reason, and we receive a doctor's note before the season starts with the kick-off of our Meet & Greet event. To reiterate, a doctor's note is required to receive a refund for medical reasons, and it must be received before the season starts.

With that said, if your player quits or is pulled for any reason after the 1st game of the season, your family will still be expected to complete your required volunteer hours, as our season is a short five weeks. 

Those who do not fulfill their commitment will be charged $100.00 before registering their player(s) for another soccer season with Rapids Rec Soccer. A debit will be added to your 'Household' account.

Friendly Reminders:

• You must stay for your full volunteer shift, and you will need to sign in AND out of your shift to get credit for your volunteer requirements for the season.
• No children under age 15 are allowed in the concession stand. This mostly affects the following volunteer positions: grill master, concessions stand worker, and volunteer check-in.

If you have questions about our refund or volunteer policy, please email our Volunteer Coordinator, Brenda Swan, at volunteers@rapidsrecsoccer.com.
