VOLUNTEERING
 
BGSA is a 100% volunteer organization.  Our league cannot function properly without volunteer support.  You will be asked to volunteer time to help out your team and the league in one or more roles this season such as: concessions, team parent, coaching, picture day, field preparation, etc.  If you are unable to volunteer during the season there is a Volunteer Buy-Out option on the registration page. 
 
  
SPECIAL REQUESTS
 

For the spring season, BGSA is unable to honor requests for coaches, friends, carpools etc.  You may enter special requests such as practice days or possible teammates on your registration form.  However, no promises can be made.  For the spring season, BGSA uses an Open Draft process for all divisions except for the Pixie division.

 

In the Pixie division, BGSA does attempt to honor friend and/or coach requests.  However, we are unable to guarantee that we can honor every request.
