REMINDER: During the registration process, each parent agreed to a $100 Check deposit in regards to their snack bar duty.  Each parent wrote a check that will be held onto until their snack bar duty is fulfilled. This check WILL NOT be deposited unless the parent does not fulfill their requirements.  Checks will be shredded at the end of the season. This policy does not not apply to parents who elected to utilize the buy out option.  Buy out is also per player, not per family. 

SNACK BAR CLOSURE POLICY: Shifts already Started when a field closure happens will count as complete. Shifts that have not been started when a closure happens will need to be rescheduled later in the season. Fields are evaluated daily in the morning and FIELD CLOSURES will be updated/posted on the website by 3PM.
