Volunteer requirement - Concession sign up

Greetings Southwest Ball Hockey Families, 

Sorry for the delay in getting this out to you. We are using a different platform for signups, and it took a little while to get set up and work out the bugs.

As you know our organization is made up of all volunteers and to keep our concession stand open, we need your help.  At the time of registration, it was notated there is a volunteer requirement per family. A $100 deposit check needs to be turned in by all families with players in the Minor, Junior or Senior Divisions and will be returned to upon completion of your volunteer hours. Each family is required to volunteer one - 3hr shift in the concession stand. The summer season is a lot shorter than the winter season, this means there are less days available to complete these hours.  There are enough slots available for every family that needs to complete their hours for this season. We would advise that you visit our website to choose your slot as soon as possible.
            The $100 check needs to be turned in by Aug 1st. or your child(ren) may be suspended from play. Please put checks in an envelope and include your name, child(rens) name on the envelope or on a piece of paper included with the check. You can turn them in to a supervisor in the concession stand during the days and times there are games scheduled at the rink or put them in the black mailbox that is on the inside of the fence next to the south gate entrance (small gate) to your right as you are walking in. If you put it in the mailbox, please put it a zip lock back also in case it rains. The mailbox says “SWBH Concessions”.  

Remember only checks will be accepted, NO CASH – NO CREDIT CARDS

 If for some reason you are unable to fulfill your volunteer requirement you have the option to drop off your check for $100 and ask us to cash it out as your contribution to the organization. 

If you have any questions on the volunteer requirements or how to sign up please contact

Sandra Vancura @ chicagogirl0905@gmail.com or via text at 708-308-5975, please include your first and last name if texting.

Sandra Vancura, Concession manager



Southwest Ball Hockey

Fast action, no checking Southwest Ball Hockey has been providing for children from our neighboring communities since 1971 by Boys Field Hockey, Inc. Boys Field Hockey, Inc., is a non-profit, state chartered corporation totally devoted to the enjoyment of this unique brand of Dek/ball hockey for children ages 5 to 15.

Southwest Ball Hockey is made up entirely of volunteers with elections held for all positions every March. We urge parents and any concerned adult to get involved. We have positions available such as Coaches, Assistant Coaches, Paid Referees, Fund Raiser Committees, Rules Committees, Rink Maintenance, Team Mother, and Grievance Board.

We have 2 seasons: Winter and Summer. The Winter season consists of 14-16 games. The season begins in November and ends in April. The summer league starts in July and runs through August. All games are played outside in tennis/gym shoes.

Usually, two games are played per week per team. All games are played on weekday evenings and Sunday's.  During the games, each player must play a minimum of 1/3 of the game. The players all wear helmets with face guards, shin guards, elbow pads and hockey gloves. In every division, good sportsmanship is encouraged in all our players. Continuing with this theory, there is also a Grievance Board made up of concerned parents to field complaints or concerns from the parents of our players.

Each division's season ends with the President's Cup Playoffs and the entire winter program ends with an Awards Banquet made up of all players from each division.
