This charge will be added to your account during the registration process. After 22 hours of volunteering next season (at meets, hospitality events, parent day, etc.), we will send a refund to you for this amount. 

Hours will be tracked by our Volunteer Coordinator in the Team Unify system so you can see the status of your hours.
