Welcome Folsom Lacrosse Families,
Thank you for volunteering!! When you access the volunteer schedule you will find a list of all the volunteer jobs needed by your team. The “Open” column shows either “Full” or how many volunteers are still needed for that job. Click anywhere on the line of an Open job to sign-up for that job.
Please sign-up for a job or multiple jobs which total a minimum of 10 “credits” per player for that player’s team. Credits are listed for each job. Generally, a credit equates to an hour of time commitment, but credits can also vary dependent on level of effort (e.g. away game sideline manager is less credits than home game sideline manager as more tasks are required of the home game sideline manager). Some jobs are a commitment for an entire season while others are specific to a particular game or event. Job descriptions are attached and available in the Documents tab of the FLA website. Your team’s volunteer sign-up schedule may not have all of the jobs listed in the Volunteer Job Description document, as your Team Manager has tailored your schedule based upon minimum needs and number of volunteers available, to help minimize the amount of volunteer hours required from each family.
If you have any questions, please reach out to your Team Manager or contact Lovi Yu at teammanagement@folsomlacrosse.org. Have a great season!

Tent/Table/Chair Set-Up / Tear Down (home games - first and last games of the day only)
Two large pop-up tents, the game table, and 3 chairs need to be brought from our storage shed down below of the parking lot at Livermore (by the baseball field) up to the field and setup before the first game of the day and then must be torn down and returned to the shed at the end of the day. There is a wagon that is used for transporting the equipment. Typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete this task. A FLA Board Member will meet you at the shed to unlock it.
