Dear TVLL Community,
As you begin to register your children for the 2019 season (and we are so thankful that you have decided to return), you have likely noticed the significant increase in the refundable, non-volunteer fee. This was done for one main reason...we need more of your help.
Last year was a difficult one for TVLL volunteering. Many snack shack and team slots went unfilled. In fact, 32% of families chose not to volunteer during the 2018 season. That put a lot of pressure on others to try and fill in the gaps - many of which we were unable to do.
So why $400? The sole purpose was to find an eye-popping number that would incentivize families to volunteer more time. Remember, just eight (8) hours is required for the entire season. Once you reach the eight hour mark, then you get your money back. Our goal through this new process is to collect zero dollars in volunteer fees. We just want more of your time and help.
We recognize that many strong emotions may come up as a result of this decision and we know that we have many wonderful and amazing volunteers. Our hope is that you understand the league's need for more help. TVLL is an all-volunteer organization. We can not do this without you and we ask that parents get involved to make this the best possible experience for the kids.
Thank you for your consideration.
Warm Regards,
TVLL Board
