- Volunteer Shift Requirement–
Being a member of Mesa Stars Football & Cheer Club, you as a parent or guardian agree to volunteer at two (2) shifts, per family, to assist the program by filling much needed volunteer positions on game days and other Mesa Stars activities.
Volunteer positions include things like:
Concessions, Gate Sales, Announcing, Clock Timer, Chain Gang, Merchandise Sales, Stadium Clean Up etc.
Your family will be assigned volunteer positions to fulfill throughout the season. It is your responsibility to work with your team mom to find a replacement/trade shifts if you are unable to work on the day assigned. Please know shifts will be assigned before or after your child's game so you will not miss cheering them on. If you wish to NOT be assigned volunteer time, please see the Volunteer Buy-Out option below.
Volunteer Buy-Out: We are offering a “volunteer buy-out” for $100. This option is ONLY available during registration. This option will excuse your family from having to fulfill the two (2) event/shift volunteer requirement for the 2024 season. These funds will allow us to backfill empty positions by hiring help if needed.
Why a buy-out option? Frankly, we need your family's help! Mesa Stars is a 100% volunteer ran organization and it requires many hands to keep things running smoothly. As we continue to grow we know it will be increasingly difficult to have success events without your help. Having a Volunteer Buy-Out may allow us to hire help when needed. What happens if we did not opt to do the "Volunteer Buy-Out" and our family does not the volunteer hours? If the 2 shift, per family, volunteer requirement has NOT been met at the conclusion of the season, your family will be invoiced a $100 fee for the shifts not completed. This fee must be paid prior to registering for future Stars programs.
"Volunteers don't necessarily have the time;
they just have the heart."
