Volunteer Bond

Eastside Youth Soccer Volunteer Bond

As a non-profit, community-based organization, Eastside Youth Soccer Association relies on the support of parents and guardians to help run our programs successfully. To ensure fairness and continued success, we require all families to contribute volunteer time or pay a volunteer bond.

To help support a great soccer experience for every player, we require a $150 volunteer bond per player submitted during registration. This bond will be added to your registration automatically.

If your volunteer commitment is completed, the bond will be refunded at the end of the season to the same payment method used at registration.

We would love to see all families volunteer throughout the season! Please contact the office if you are interested in additional opportunities to earn your volunteer bond back.
