PARTNERSHIP WITH POSITIVE COACHING ALLIANCE (PCA)
ERYHA has partnered with the Positive Coaching Alliance starting with the 2024-25 season.
A positive approach helps youth get the most out of sports, which is what coaches, parents, and the athletes themselves want. By partnering with the PCA our goal is to:
- Help youth players increase teamwork, confidence, resilience, persistence, empathy, ability to bounce back from mistakes, and become more physically active, and
- Enable coaches to be more prepared to use tools and techniques with their players to improve their resilience, their sportsmanship, and their character on and off the field.
Training from the Positive Coaching Alliance will be provided for players, parents and coaches at the start of the season.
UPDATED VOLUNTEER POLICY
Starting with the 2024-25 season, intent to buy-out of the volunteer requirements must be declared during registration or prior to December 31, 2024 to buy-out for $600.
Buy-outs declared on or after January 1, 2025, and families that do not complete their entire 12-hour volunteer requirements for the 2024-25 season, will be billed $1,200.
UPDATED FUNDRAISING POLICY
ERYHA requires all families to sell $250 in raffles per player/participant and a max of $500 in raffles per family. There is a buy out option available.
Reminder for Junior Gold families: ERYHA's mandatory fundraising includes Junior Gold participants. Please contact the ERYHA Fundraising Coordinator ASAP at eryhafundraising@gmail.com if you want to sell raffles vs buyout. Selling will not be guaranteed as raffles sales may sell out and they are due to the association 11/30/24.
