SJAA discourages parents from playing their son or daughter up. In fact, it is against our team formation policy and will only be permitted in special curcumstances.

6. Why do I need to "volunteer" to work in the concession stand? Doesn't my registration fee pay for everything?

No. SJBAA is a volunteer organization. By signing up your son or daughter for a sport, you are volunteering a small part of your time to help SJBAA effectively run that sport. Parents maybe asked to work at:

• a 2 hour shift in the concession stand
• field maintenance

SJBAA uses volunteers to keep registration costs to a minimum.

7. What do I need to do if I would like to volunteer to be a coach of a team?

If you would like to coach or be an assistant coach for a team administered by SJBAA:

• You must watch the Archdiocese of Cincinnati video on child abuse

• You are strongly encourage to be an active member in SJBAA by attending meetings held the third Thursday of each month
