P.L.A.Y. hosted tournaments are a significant source of revenue for the program and reduce the registration fees charged to each player. It is imperative that parents fulfill the volunteer requirements to keep registration fees down. Volunteer hours may change annually dependent on program needs. A volunteer deposit check of a predetermined amount will be communicated and collected from all at the time of tryouts.  

Your player will not be placed on a team if your deposit has not been turned in. The deposit check is not cashed but remains with the Basketball Board until all volunteer opportunities have expired for that season.  At that time, if your volunteer requirement has been fulfilled, the check will be shredded. If not, the check is cashed and the funds are absorbed into the basketball general fund. When indicated, volunteer opportunities will be created and posted via Signup Genius or DIBS.

Volunteer requirements for 2023-24 are:

• 6 total hours at P.L.A.Y. hosted tournaments per player or 9 total hours for families with more than one player
• $500 volunteer deposit check, per player, due at tryouts

Head coach, assistant coach, or a member of the P.L.A.Y. travel basketball board or tournament committee, you are exempt from volunteering.
