8. What time commitment is involved in volunteering to coach a team?

Usually we ask for 3 to 5 hours a week. Most often, leagues are set up with two practice dates and one game date each week. Because most of our leagues require traveling to other communities, we factor that time in as well. You are not required to transport members of your team to sporting events. If you would like to set up a ‘carpool’ procedure with your families, you may do so, but don’t feel obligated to make that happen. Families are responsible to transport their own children to and from game locations.
