We're so glad you're here!

To make our Glencoe Youth Football program and each season successful... We . Need. You.

We can't operate any of our events or game days without help from from our Tide families.

We are looking to build new relationships, & provide assistance/training our next successors within our Tide Football Community. 

When you choose to help GYF, you will not only have a positive impact on our rising youth players and coaches but you will also make a difference in our Glencoe Community. 

Please check if your job such as Nike, Intel, Synopsys, etc. has a volunteer community program. If you track & submit your volunteer hours this program helps support & gives back into our football & cheer program. 


volunteering

As stated in your online registration form agreement, there are mandatory volunteer hours required per GYF family.

earn hours to get volunteer fees reimbursed

Families have the opportunity throughout the season to earn their volunteer hours. Those who register & help are eligible to get their volunteer fees reimbursed. 

Hours earned will be verified by our Volunteer Director. Volunteer fees will be reimbursed at the end of the season. 

On game days volunteering can be done within 1-2 hour shifts. 

Your volunteer hours can be accumulated throughout the football season. Help is needed not only on game days but during preseason or you can choose from one of our fundraising committees for Bingo Night/Silent Auction & our Annual Golf Tournament. 

 

volunteer hours are per family

  • Flag (K- 2nd grade) - will need four (4) hours minimum of volunteering
  • Flag (3rd-6th grade) - will need six (6) hours minimum of volunteering 
  • Tackle (3rd-8th) - will need eight (8) hours minimum of volunteering
     

what if you have multiple kids in our program?

For example: one child plays tackle and another child plays flag, you will only need to work a total combine of 8 hours of volunteer work for the entire season. These hours can be accumulated over time.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

Meet new people! See your family & friends! Lots of football! Have Fun!

Please estimate to help about two (2) hours of volunteering per shift. We will do our best to communicate as we receive the schedules and events as they come.

Volunteer fees are due with registration fees.

You do have the opportunity to get reimbursed for your volunteer fee. Make sure you use our volunteer link from Sign Up Genius so we can log and credit you your time.

If you complete your total volunteer hours, at the end of the season, you will receive your entire Volunteer Fee back IN FULL

Please check back frequently as the season draws near to sign up for various events such as Game Day help for: 

  • Away Games for Tackle : Chain Gang & Play Plotter 
  • Home Games for All Levels : Field Greeter, Field Setup/Breakdown, Concessions, Clock Operator, Announcer, Play Plotter

NOTE: TACKLE FAMILIES - If we don't have enough volunteers signed up, especially for AWAY games for Chain Gang & Play Plotter (about 4-5 people)... we will have no choice but to forfeit the game. 


how to become a volunteer :

  1. Register as a volunteer using our Sign Up Genius links  (these will be released soon and as the season gets closer)
     
  2. Do your Background Check 

    NOTE: ALL volunteers must have a cleared background check BEFORE they can help or be eligible to be on the field. 

    It takes 1-2 weeks to get the results, so please plan ahead.
