Parent Volunteer Policy and Contract The West Seven Rams Football and Cheer Program is a volunteer-based organization and depend greatly on the commitment and sacrifice of many volunteers. We do not compensate any of our volunteers, including coaches, board members and team moms, yet they and many others devote a substantial amount of their time and energy to support our youth sports program. Parental involvement is mandatory and critical to our success. In addition to supporting and participating in our fundraising activities, we require all parents/guardians volunteer at least four (4) hours of volunteer time, one (1) shift of concession stand duties and one (1) event (Ex: Benefit Game, Homecoming Game, Homecoming Dance, Cheer Competition, Banquet, etc.) during the season or contribute $50.00 to WSRYC, to support the program. Although the monetary donation is greatly appreciated, your volunteer time is much more valuable. There are many opportunities and ways to contribute four hours of volunteer time and we have found that most families generously contribute more than the required four hours. Our 2009 policy for the concession stand and game day volunteer time will be to schedule you to work a game other than your child’s (either prior to or after) so you can fully enjoy your child’s game. Please be advised that failure to adhere to the terms of this contract will results in your child not being able to participate in the West Seven Rams Cheerleading and Football program. To make it convenient for you and to not leave it up to chance, volunteer when you know that you will be available. If you are unable to fulfill your obligation as scheduled, you must find an alternate who is at least 18 years of age. Failure to replace yourself will prevent your child from playing in the following weekend game. It is necessary to enforce this ruling to remain fair to all volunteers. All of our lives are busy, by doing your fair share, no one person will be overly burdened

Each participating family acknowledges that they have read, understand and agree to the terms of this Volunteer Policy and Contract by signing below. You are responsible for signing up for volunteer time and submitting your Volunteer Time Tally Sheets to your child’s head coach. Please be advised that failure to adhere to the terms of this contract will results in your child not being able to participate in the West Seven Rams Cheerleading and Football program
