LFSA has a volunteer policy to help strengthen the organization. LFSA hosts multiple tournaments as our primary fundraising events. These tournaments are well attended, attract high quality teams and have a great reputation. Parent support and participation through volunteering is essential to the success of these tournaments.
The number of hours required may change from season to season based on program need. The Board of Directors may increase or decrease these hours based on program need.
The policy is per family. If you have multiple players in LFSA, you must fulfill the volunteer hours as defined:
Volunteers must be 16 years of age or older.
2024 Fall Dib Requirements:
In-House: 2 hours or family maximum of 4 hours
Travel: 4 hours or family maximum of 6 hours
*Maximum is determined based on highest level of play
Exceptions to the volunteer requirements are as follows:
Families who are unable to complete their dibs requirement will be invoiced at the end of the season for $500. Invoices are required to be paid in full to ensure eligibility for the athlete to be on a team in any subsequent seasons. Unpaid invoices will result in the athlete's exclusion from player evaluations as well as team placement. Payments received following player evaluations in the fall will reinstate the athlete's eligibility however it may impact team placement with the athlete not having completed an evaluation.
Volunteer opportunities include field preparation, tournaments, and other events as determined by the Board of Directors.
Please be advised that if you complete only a portion of your required hours, you will be invoiced $500 at the end of the season as defined by LFSA's Volunteer Policy. This applies to In-House and Traveling players.
If you know you are unable to volunteer during the season, you may participate in our buyout program.
Families may choose the buyout option at the time of registration for $500.00. This payment will be made during registration and you will not be expected to complete hours.
All shifts will be posted in the online volunteer system (Dibs) on the LFSA website and notification of new shifts will be sent via e-mail. There will be a sign in sheet at each event to ensure your hours are recorded. How does a Volunteer claim a Dib Item?
Note: When you claim a Dib Item (shift), an Admin from the organization must grant completion of the Item for you before your account receives the credit value.
