Family Volunteer Policy
Bloomington Youth Hockey (BYH) is a volunteer-based organization. Volunteers are necessary and essential for BYH to provide a great atmosphere for our players. Eight (8) hours are required per family. Members have the option to volunteer time in a selected capacity or pay an opt-out fee of $500 per family (payable during registration). All families will need to volunteer or pay the opt-out fee.
At the time that families accept the offer of a roster spot, they will commit to paying the $500 volunteer buyout fee if the volunteer hours are not met. If the family has not completed their eight (8) hours by January 31, the organization treasurer will add the $500 volunteer buyout fee to their account. Many volunteer options are available. Any questions about volunteering, about any of the listed position duties, or this program should be directed to the club treasurer.
