Communication Among Volunteers

Volunteers communicate in multiple ways throughout the season. All parents will receive email notifications but for time sensitive communication we use text messages for general communication. The "Text Remind Group" is sent to all subscribed parents general info like bus arrival times after games or score. When you join a sub-group, like Pit Crew or Uniform Committee, you will often communicate with team members in smaller text groups created by team leaders.

Band "Text Remind Group" - to join, email Alex Rector.
