- Volunteer Shift Requirement–

Being a member of PJV Football and Cheer, you as a parent or guardian agree to volunteer at four (4) events/shifts, per family, to assist the program by filling much needed volunteer positions on game days and other PJV 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 $200. This option is ONLY available during registration. This option will excuse your family from having to fulfill the four (4) event/shift volunteer requirement for the 2023 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! PJV is a 100% volunteer ran organization and it requires many hands to keep things running smoothly. Each year we are finding it increasingly difficult to find sufficient volunteers to help during key events. 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 4 shift, per family, volunteer requirement has NOT been met at the conclusion of the season, your family will be invoiced a $200 fee for the shifts not completed. This fee must be paid prior to registering for future PJV programs. 

 

-Sibling Discount -

We offer a $50 sibling discount for families with multiple athletes (football or cheer one discount per additional registration. Email operationspjv@gmail.com for code).

 

 - 2023 Registration Fees -

 Registration Cost: $350 per player registration fee 

 

Optional Volunteer Buy-Out: $200 per family (make sure you only choose this buy-out once if registering multiple children) This will excuse you from the volunteer requirements.

 

-Registration Fee Payment Options -

Pay in full: Submit total fees online today upon conclusion of this registration session via Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or checking account.

Payment Plan: Fees will be divided into installments with the first installment of $100 to be collected at the conclusion of your registration.
