Volunteer Commitment

Volunteers are the most important part of the Crete Bulldogs organization, and our volunteers are what have driven us forward for more than 50 years! We would not be able to function without the help of our Bulldog family. We require two (2) volunteer commitments per family (no matter the number of registered children). Completion of volunteer duties is required for the refund of the deposit at the end of the season. Volunteer opportunities are available to sign up for via the DIBS system. Opportunities are available for Concessions, Fanwear, Clean-Up, Set-Up, Homecoming helpers, and Banquet. It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian(s) to sign up for volunteer commitments equaling two (2) credits according to the value established within the DIBS system. Please note that not all shifts are credited equally.
