PARENT VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

 In order for Rocklin Jr. Thunder Football & Cheer to successfully operate, it is necessary for all families to participate in the many roles and duties required throughout the season and on game day. Each family will be required to submit a volunteer hours deposit check of $400 or opt out at registration for $350.  The volunteer requirement is to work 10 hours per registrant, or 15 max for families with multiple children. Coaches, team parents & board members are exempt. Also if you bring in a $500+ sponsorship your volunteer hours will be considered fulfilled. Failure to complete your volunteer hours by the last game of the season or a no-show for a scheduled shift will result in your check being cashed.

*Please note, if you need to cancel your shift you are required to email the volunteer coordinator at volunteers@jrthunder.com 48 hours in advance of your scheduled shift to ensure that we are able to get the proper coverage. You may also fill your slot with a family member or other member of the organization. Please make sure the Team Parent or Volunteer Coordinator is informed

HOME GAMES: All volunteers will meet at the front gate 15 minutes prior to their start time to check in at the beginning of your shift.

AWAY GAMES: All volunteers for PAR & Chain Gang will report to the field 15 min before the start of the game.
