SNACK BAR OPTIONS OFFERED

To: All Parents

The snack bar at the field is run completely by volunteers.  As such, we request that each parent do a MINIMUM of one shift per season to assist in making the snack bar available for all games during the season. If games are rained out, a snack bar shift will need to be rescheduled for a different day.  Unfortunately, we have had many parents not show up for their shifts and not pay the buyout funds requested to pay for a replacement worker. Our league has two options for the snack bar. Please choose one:

  1. $200.00 deposit (paid online now at time of registration or offline with a separate check payable to SPGSA to be collected at uniform sizing*) This deposit will be held by the league as a good faith deposit that you will work the shift assigned by your team.  Your original check (uncashed) will be returned to you upon completion of your shift. If you made the deposit online, the deposit will be refunded to your form of payment within a week of your completed shift. Your check will be deposited if you do not complete your shift as scheduled by your team. *If a snack bar deposit is not given by the date of uniform sizing, your child’s registration will be deemed incomplete and a uniform will not be issued to your child.

  2. $150.00 straight buyout of your shift (PAYABLE ONLINE AT TIME OF REGISTRATION).  This option will relieve you of your responsibility to work the snack bar and provide the funds to hire a replacement.

 

If you need special arrangements for your shift (i.e. you cannot work on Wednesdays) this needs to be brought to your manager or team mom’s attention.  The snack bar personnel are not responsible for scheduling workers other than replacement workers.

PLEASE NOTE THAT IT IS ACCEPTABLE TO SEND A REPLACEMENT FOR YOU.  HOWEVER, IF THE REPLACEMENT IS UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE, THIS PERSON MUST BE PREQUALIFIED BY THE SNACK BAR PERSONNEL.

ALL VOLUNTEERS MUST PASS BACKGROUND CHECK AND BE EXECUTIVE BOARD APPROVED
