VOLUNTEERS MAKE OUR CLUB STRONG

Like many volunteer-driven organizations that benefit our children and community, the success of our club depends on people like you. We have a variety of volunteer opportunities, including:


  • Parent Representative / Team Manager
  • Uniform Organization & Distribution
  • Equipment & Medical Kit Management
  • Concessions & Fundraising
  • Board of Directors
  • Event Coordination (e.g., Coulee Cup, Winter Invite)
  • Team Photos


*Please note that some of these opportunities may not be available for the year.


When these responsibilities are shared among all teams, we can achieve one of our key goals: keeping program fees as low as possible for families.

Our board and current volunteers already balance these roles with full-time jobs, and their efforts are deeply appreciated. However, as our club continues to grow, your help, input, and expertise are essential to strengthening our programs.

 To ensure we continue to operate efficiently,  our club has established mandatory volunteer guidelines to fairly distribute these tasks.

Thank you for stepping up to make a difference!

What Counts as Volunteer Hours

  • Volunteer opportunities are sent out frequently via email, social media, or can be found on this website. 
  • Volunteer hours apply per family (not per player).
  • Any family member may complete the hours, but we ask volunteers to be at least 14 years old. Some tasks may be suitable for younger players.


Volunteer Hour Requirements

  • Each family is required to complete the minimum number of service hours outlined.
  • If volunteer hours are not completed, an invoice will be issued and payment is due immediately.
  • No partial credit: all required hours must be fulfilled or the buyout fee paid.
  • We ask that families volunteer at least 4 hours for Coulee Cup. 
  • Families are responsible for:
  • Finding volunteer opportunities
  • Completing their hours


Buy-out Option

At registration, families may choose to buy out their volunteer commitment by paying a set fee.

  • If you select this option, you are not required to complete volunteer hours.
  • This option is provided for convenience—not as a fundraising initiative. We strongly encourage families to participate and share their time and talents!


Other Important Information

  • Unpaid Invoices: If an invoice for unfulfilled hours is not paid, the player and family will be ineligible to register for the next season until payment is made in full.
  • Scholarship Families: All scholarship recipients must complete the required hours. No exceptions.
  • Extra Hours: Additional volunteer hours cannot be carried over to the next season. Each season requires its own minimum commitment.


Thank you for your support in making Rush Wisconsin West a strong and vibrant community!

Example of Coulee Cup Volunteer needs



Concessions:  Help sell concession items and Grill hamburgers and/or hot dogs

Concessions Beverage Cart: Stock, drive concessions cart and sell beverage all over the 52-acre complex. 

Parking North, South and Referee Entrances: For North and South entrances a fee is charged for the weekend to park in our lots. The referee area is for RUSH WI West referees and coaches. This area needs monitoring and no money is collected at this area.

Field Marshal:  As a Field Marshal, your job would be to oversee 2-3 fields and make sure games are happening on time and running smoothly. You would be in charge of delivering and collecting game reports from the referees at the fields you are assigned. You would be checking in teams to make sure they are dressed legally. We will provide a quick checklist of things to look for, so again, no knowledge of the rules is needed here. Also, while wearing a pretty cool vest, people may come ask you questions about where their teams are playing and how to get to fields, so you will have a schedule and maps to help them. The best part about this job is that you can get your volunteer hours and perhaps watch your child play at the same time.

Transportation: This job via Golf Cart involves driving handicapped people to and from parking areas to game fields. Helping with all types of tasks on sites that are necessary.  Golf carts will be used. This does require a person to be 18 or older.

Trash Collection: Load garbage cans onto the ATV driven trailer and dump them into the large container. Return the garbage cans to their respective field when emptied.
