Frequently Asked Questions
What is a work bond?
The work bond program is a program in which each parent submits an additional fee to the league at registration. The coach for each team will collect the payments and submit these to the FBLL board member. After a predetermined number of volunteering hours have been met, the family is returned this fee. If volunteering hours are not met, the fee is kept by FBLL.
