Required Volunteer Hours

Our program would not be possible without the help of volunteers!  Each player/player's family is required to fill volunteer shifts throughout the season. Our main fundraising opportunity is through concessions during home games and admissions at the volleyball tournaments hosted at Apple Valley High School.

We rely on volunteer/fundraising efforts to pay for needed items such as the website, uniforms, nets, balls, senior gifts, subsidizing the end of the year banquet and more.  Last year, we had a VERY difficult time filling volunteer spots.
