Volunteer Commitment

Martinez Youth Football and Cheer Families,

MYF is 100% run and managed by volunteers.  Without parent participation, MYF would not exist.  It is extremely important to us that volunteers and/or parents participate throughout the season. 

Our Board Members work hard and put in many hours throughout the entire year to ensure that your child has the opportunity to experience the fun and pride of being a BULLDOG, but they can’t do it alone.  Our league is only supported by the efforts and hard-work of our volunteers.

By having more parent involvement, MYF can continue to provide our youth an exciting and safe atmosphere, where they can further their competitive skills and ideals of football and cheer. Our goal is to instill self-confidence, good sportsmanship and perseverance in each participant and we hope to teach each child the fundamentals of team-work, athletics and discipline. We ask you to please volunteer at least 8 hours during the season.  If each family were to participate, we would thrive as a league!  We greatly appreciate all your efforts and continued support.
