volunteer expectations

Each season our youth program relies on volunteers from our Tide  Community. As our kids grow & families age out we are constantly looking to build new relationships & help train our next successor. 

  • As the season draws near we will post our volunteer link from Sign Up Genius here, social media or an email from Sports Engine so we can log and credit you your time.
  • Once you sign up, please complete the background check ASAP. Background checks takes time to process & must be cleared before you can be on the field.
  • Families can have grown ups or high school students help volunteer. Students who are 9th-12 grade, do not need a background check.
  • Volunteering hours can be earned at any flag / tackle event  such as ; preseason, game days or fundraising events.
  • Please estimate to help about 1-2 hours of volunteering per shift. We will do our best to communicate as we receive the schedules and events as they come.
  • Flag and Tackle families can sign up to volunteer at any GYF event / game to earn their hours.
