VOLUNTEER INFO & COACHING STAFF FEE
What is the Coaching Staff Fee?
OBGC relies almost exclusively on our outstanding and committed volunteers to run all our programs and events. Volunteering with OBGC is a great way to meet new friends while helping support the children in the community. The OBGC volunteer season resets every calendar year.
All families joining our House Leagues (recreation, not travel, camps or clinics) must pay a $75 Coaching Staff Fee once per family per calendar year. This fee covers the discount we provide to all Head Coaches and Staff who volunteer during the year for your kids.
How to Volunteer?
Parents/Adults 18 or older need to register online on the Registration Page at www.obgc.com/register and select which Role they are interested in volunteering for.
Roles you can volunteer for at OBGC include:
Head Coach
Assistant Coach
Scorekeeper (basketball)
Wrestling Assistant
Head Coaches will be credited the $75 fee automatically once they are assigned a team and will also be refunded the registration fee for one child of their own that they are coaching for (*this does not include our Instructional Soccer coaches). Assistant coaches, scorekeepers and wrestling assistants are refunded at the end of the season once their time is confirmed. Refunds are only provided when the required Background Check has been completed and approved. Background checks are mandatory to coach any child at OBGC and are good for 3 years (not required for scorekeepers).
*House Soccer Instructional League – ONLY the Head Coach of each team will be refunded their Volunteer Opt Out Fee ($75) at the end of the season. The amount of time and effort required in this league is dramatically less than in our other House Leagues.
Other volunteer opportunities
SSL Hours – Middle and High School students can volunteer and earn Student Service Learning (SSL) hours by contacting obgcadm@obgc.com for an SSL form or more information.
Earn Back Your Fee – If there are specific events or opportunities during the year for which we need volunteers, we will send out a community email with details and a sign-up form. Simply sign up and show up to give your time to the Club (approx. 4 hours) and we will refund your Coaching Staff Fee for the year.
