It takes 86 hours of volunteer time to cover 1 home game. Something to think about - If everyone just signed up to work one shift during a home game, we would have everything covered the whole day! There are ONLY 4 home games per year. Away games- PJH volunteers are needed for PAR and CHAINS.
It is a REQUIREMENT of all participants of Placer Jr Hillmen Youth Football and Cheer to volunteer each season. Families with one athlete are required to complete 10 hours. Families with two or more athletes are required to complete 14 hours each season. Placer Jr Hillmen is ran strictly by volunteers and a volunteer board of directors. Please do your part to help provide a smooth, efficient, fun, and valuable experience for all the children in our program... It's all about the kids and they benefit from everything the adults put into it. We truly appreciate your help and assistance.
For the 2019 season, please note that if any family incurs three (3) no-shows on shifts for which they signed-up, the volunteer deposit will be forfeited. Cancelling within 48 hours of a game is counted as a no-show. If you need to cancel within 48 hours, it is your responsibility to find a replacement.
