Updates will be given concerning Collins Hill Parks and news concerning our Association. Per the CHAA bylaw’s, positions are for two-year terms. Please see below for our rotation schedule.

 There is no greater gift than your time. Volunteering is a rewarding endeavor that provides insight and personal enrichment. Benefits include but are not limited to being involved in developing young student athletes and helping them to love the game and grow into responsible young adults. It’s about making connections, gaining experience, and making new friends.

 We are looking for great people that are not afraid of hard work or a major commitment. We are looking for people who have a passion for our youth and want to see them prosper. We are looking for responsible adults with a level head and an understanding of how to work with and develop the athletes of our community. We are looking for volunteers who can see the bigger picture and not just their own agendas. We need people who are willing to give of their time, effort, and positive energy! Does this sound like you? If so, we want you on board!
