If you fail to work your required scheduled hours, you will be billed $50 by MAYBA (flat fee based on assumed 5-hour commitment x $10). You may choose to BUY your way out of working for $50…this should be done prior to the season.
We appreciate and thank you for all of your efforts in making our program a successful one. If you have any questions about working, contact our President, Nathan Deutz.
If you are unable to make your scheduled tryout date/time, you may attend any other age grouping.
