Volunteer deposit:
The Eagles are a non-profit organization that relies on volunteers
to get things done. Included in each athlete's registration fee
is a $50 per family volunteer deposit, which you can earn back by
volunteering a total of four hours during the 2012 season.
Otherwise, your deposit is used to help pay operating expenses
and for uniforms, supplies and equipment. There are a lot of
volunteer opportunities, which you can see during the sign-ups,
and pitching in to help is part of the Eagles experience. Once
you have contributed your volunteer time, you can contact the
Treasurer for your refund. You can also contribute your $50.00
deposit to the Jack Dawson Scholarship for deserving high school
seniors who have run with the Eagles.
Refunds:
During the first two (2) weeks of practice the West Valley Eagles will give a full refund, less $25.00, for any athlete who wishes to withdraw from team. No refund will be given to any athlete that drops from team after this time.
