Mandatory Volunteer Fee

It takes a team of parents/families with a lot of time and effort to put on the best program for the players in our community.  The volunteer fee is mandatory and potentially reimbursable upon volunteering.  The fee was established across all SPYA sports to encourage volunteers to make the program better.  The fee is reimbursed at the end of the season once a family volunteers.

 

SPYA has a financial aid applicaiton and process for families in need.  It is completed in the strictest confidence.  You may request further information at treasurer@spya.org

 

SPYA has a NO REFUND Policy!  If we have a place for your child to play, no refunds will be given unless otherwise stated.

 

If you have any questions please reach out to me at football@spya.org.  I’m looking forward to another great year of football!
