Sponsorships
Glenvar Youth Boosters (GYB) is a non-profit organization that provides youth with recreational sports opportunities and equipment. GYB relies solely on funds received through registration fees, fundraisers, and donations/corporate sponsorships. Past generosity of our sponsors has aided in the ability of our youth club to offer sports opportunities to hundreds of youngsters in our community. We continue to grow larger each year and with that so do our needs for new/replacement equipment, uniforms, field maintenance and updates. Our mission is to do whatever it takes to keep our registration fees affordable for all families who wish for their children to participate in GYB youth sports. Being a sponsor of GYB helps us to defer the cost of uniforms, equipment, and maintenance. Sponsorships also are of great help in covering the costs of scholarships we provide for families who cannot afford registration fees and these numbers are on the rise. It is our goal to turn away no child because they cannot pay. Your generosity helps us keep our registration fees as affordable as possible so we don’t have to pass these costs on to our families.

Please support our sponsors below. If you are interested in being a sponsor, please review the following sponsorship letter: Sponsor Letter and Donate Online Today!

Coaches Needed
Coaches are needed each season for teams at all age levels. Leave the folding chair at home and come out where the game is played. This is a great opportunity to create lasting memories and help your child's team have a great season! If you are interested in being a Head Coach, Assistant Coach, or Team Parent, please contact the appropriate one of our Coordinator's  as soon as possible. Coordinator information is at the bottom of this email.

Other Volunteer Opportunities
Want to get involved with Spring Sports but don’t wish to coach? Well, there is a job for you at the Glenvar Youth Boosters!!! If you have any questions or want to volunteer please contact  the GYB Public Relations Officer at:  GYB Public Relations Officer

Background Checks
Background checks are mandated by Roanoke County for all Volunteers who are on the field or in the dugout with an GYB team during practices and games. GYB is very supportive of this Roanoke County mandate and will not make any exceptions. If you are interested in coaching/assistant coaching or helping a GYB team in any way, please go to the GYB website: Glenvar Youth Boosters to register so a background check can be processed. All volunteers must register on the GYB website even if that volunteer has an ID Badge (background check) from another sport. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Special Requests
Play Up Requests - Requests for players to move to an older age group require a email request to that sports' Coordinator.

Coach Requests - Requests for a specific coach or team will not be considered.
