BECOME A VOLUNTEER

For the Del Campo Jr Cougars Youth Football and Cheer organization to operate successfully each year it is necessary that each family participates in the parent volunteer hours and duties required during the season. Del Campo Jr Cougars Football and Cheer is run strictly by volunteers and a volunteer Board of Directors. Please do your part to help provide a smooth, efficient, fun, and valuable experience for all the children in our program.  During the 2026 season, each family was required to work a 10 hours per athlete they have participating in the program. In order to be eligible to receive the refund for parent hours ALL 10 hours MUST be completed.

• Parent/Guardian is required to pay a $200 parent volunteer hours deposit. Checks are NOT accepted.
• Once the volunteer schedules are prepared, families will be notified via email through a Sign-up Genius link.
• Volunteer hours can be rescheduled/canceled but must be done 72 hours prior to the shift and through the Sign-up Genius link. 
• Parents/Guardian who volunteer for a game day shift must arrive 10 minutes prior to the start of the shift and work the complete shift. Our Volunteer Coordinator will check-in all volunteers - All volunteers MUST sign in for their shift. 
• Please limit personal belongings in the snack bar so walkways are clear for food service. 
• You may not, under any circumstances, bring your child (of any age) with you during a snack bar shift.
• You may have a friend or family member work your shift, but they MUST be 18 years of age or older.
• Volunteers are required to pay admission into games.

Our organization would not be possible without volunteers. We want to thank each and every one of our families and look forward to another great season!
