SBR Softball Association is run exclusively by VOLUNTEERS. As our club continues to grow, a continued commitment from our members is necessary for our club to be able to operate effectively. 

 

The purpose of the Volunteer Bond is to encourage more of our membership to become actively involved in making our association the best it can be.

​

Every registered player will be required to provide SBR with a Volunteer Bond.

Each player must fulfill one (1) role or shift from the approved list.

• This bond is a commitment to provide service or money towards the operation and continued success of the organization.

• A Volunteer Bond Agreement must be signed, electronically at time of registration, and a post-dated cheque made out to SBR Softball for July 31 of the current season year in the amount of $450 per player will be required at the player's evaluation or uniform pick-up.

• Players without a signed agreement and cheque will be unable to pick-up uniforms.

• It is important that the cheque includes the first and last name of the player.

• Your cheque will be destroyed at the end of the season once you have fulfilled your volunteer commitment.

•  If a family does not fulfill their volunteer commitment by Aug. 31 of the current season, their bond will be cashed.

• This volunteer commitment is manditory and will be enforced. Those who have not complied will not be able to register for the following season until their volunteer bond commitment is met through service or payment.

​

Volunteer Role or Shift Required

Each player bond must be fulfilled by working an approved Role or Shift. Below is a list of approved volunteer roles, shifts and opportunities.

•  All approved "shifts" are one shift per player bond. Some approved "roles" are per player, ie Team Umpire. Other approved "roles" are per family (2+ players per household), ie Committees.

• Roles and Shifts cannot be carried over to the following season as we need continued help from year to year.

​

Opting Out

Families may choose to opt out of the Volunteer Bond Agreement during registration or opt out of the Volunteer Bond by indicating this choice on the Agreement Form at Evaluations or Uniform Pick-up.

•  They must include a $350 cheque dated for the current date, not post-dated.

• This cheque will be cashed within 30 days.

• This will exempt them from performing volunteer activities at the association level, but not team volunteering.

• If a family volunteers after they have opted out of the Volunteer Bond, they will not be refunded.

​​

Note: There will be a $25 administration fee for NSF cheques. 

It is the sole responsibility of the family to seek out approved opportunities to ensure they fulfill their bond 

commitment. Opportunities can be found below, as well opportunities may be emailed to the SBR membership. Volunteers will be taken on a first come, first served basis.
