Sign-ups for parent duties will be done through Sign Up Genius. Once we have determined the amount of families we have signed up and positions we need covered, we will be sending out a link through email for parents to sign up online. All duties and time slots will be first come first serve. If after you sign up for a duty and a conflict occur, it is your responsibility to find a replacement and to notify your team mom. An email will go out notifying you of the time and date the email will go out, so everyone will have access to the email at the same time. This online system will also send you a reminder about your upcoming duty.
The first Wednesday of every month is our monthly NLYAA Organizational meeting. These meetings are open to the public. These meetings cover a lot of the behind the scenes activities that occur to ensure a successful season. We are in need of a Secretary. These are held at 7:30 at the Middle School Cafeteria.
