Team Duties

TCYG is a member run organization. the involvement and volunteerism of the general membership is essential to the success of the program.

As parents, your involvement with Tri-City will require a generous donation of your time. However, your efforts will directly benefit your children and the youth who participate in the organization. As the season progresses, various duties will need to be performed to ensure an enjoyable year. Therefore, duties are assigned to distribute the responsibilities amongst all families. To have a successful season, please be thorough and conscientious with your assignments.

Each team must select a Team Parent who will be the main liaison between the parents, the coach, and the TCYG Board of Directors.
