The J relies on dedicated volunteer coaches to make a difference in the lives of our youngest athletes. We are looking for positive role models who lead by example, teach the game, and create a fun and safe playing experience.
The annual Memorial Day Weekend event is looking volunteers in two aspects:
• Event Directors help run the tournaments or one-off events throughout the four-day event.
• The time required is between 2-6 hours.
• Event Volunteers assist the Event Directors at a sporting competition, or assist Staff in various capacities such as medal distribution or packet pickup.
• This is a great opportunity for families to volunteer together, for high school students to earn volunteer hours and youth groups to volunteer together.
