Get Involved
The Brookfield Lacrosse Association is a volunteer driven club. What does that mean? It means that this organization is better together! From our field liners to the Board of Directors, each and every individual donates their time in order to foster an experience for our children through the sport of lacrosse.
This is where you come in. Each player’s guardian or adult is required to volunteer at least 4 hours a season in order to make this machine work. However, we aren’t that cold-hearted. We understand that life happens and most of us have kids going in multiple directions, we ask that you support the club through your checkbook.
At the beginning of the season, your team leader (read: a nicer name for “manager”) will collect a $250 volunteer deposit from you. At the end of the season, those who were able to meet the 4 hour requirement will have their deposit returned. If you’re not able to meet the volunteer hours requirement, we would like to thank you for your donation to the program!
