If you are returning athlete and your information has not changed, you only need the following: Please complete and send the Uniform, Volunteer and Information Forms. At registration, you only need to verify the information in the computer is correct and pay.

If you are new to the program, on the Forms page, please READ, COMPLETE and sign the Player Contract (athlete also signs in middle of page), COVID-19 Waiver, Code of Conduct & Medical Waiver (athlete also signs), Uniform, Volunteer and Information forms.

On the Player Contract you are agreeing to 1 through 7 only, not 8; ATHLETE signs first section; parent signs bottom section. The uniform will be new and you get to keep it. Please review the other pages on the website as they will answer most questions.

We rely on volunteers to get things done. This year, in addition to each athlete’s registration fee there is a $100 per family volunteer deposit, which you can earn back by volunteering a total of ten (10) hours at meets during the season. Otherwise, your deposit will be considered donated and used to help pay operating expenses and for uniforms, supplies, and equipment. There are a lot of volunteer opportunities (see Volunteer Form-2nd page), which range from easy to painfully easy, and pitching in to help is part of the experience. Once you have contributed your volunteer time, you can fill out a Request for Refund (on the Forms Page). If you do not complete and submit a Request for Refund by no later than 7 days prior to picnic (or pick up your check no later than the picnic), your deposit will be deemed a donation to the club. Refund checks will be at the picnic.

Your registration fee includes one VRTC Practice T-shirt. Please print large enough to see the athlete’s FIRST NAME (or the name he/she prefers to go by); Wearing the practice t-shirt is REQUIRED at all practices.
Also, and we can’t say it enough times, ALWAYS WEAR SWEATS TO PRACTICE, every practice.
Extra practice T-shirts are $10. We have adult sizes in most items if you want to match your kids.
Other Valley Raiders logo fan gear may be for sale.

Can be made payable to Valley Raiders or VRTC. Returned checks will incur a $25 fee. You can Venmo @valleyraiders (if you see our logo, that is correct page-no confirmation tel # needed). Cash at in-person registration or practice.
