Volunteering The Burbank Vikings is run by a team of volunteers some of who have kids in the program, others who do not.The success of this program is absolutely contingent on continuing to grow our volunteer pool. Upon signing up your football player or cheerleader, each parent has committed 4 hours PER CHILD to volunteering for the program.If four hours per child are not completed nearing the end of the season, your athlete runs the risk of not participating in games until the hours have been fulfilled.There are several ways to complete your four volunteer hours in no time. Opportunities include, but are not limited to:
Working in the Snack Shack
Helping Cheer make ‘run through’ posters
Field set up and break down
Field/Bleacher clean up (both for practice and games)
Equipment hand out and collection
Chain Gang
Announcer
Score board operator
Details for all of the above mentioned tasks are listed on the Volunteer Description page. Beyond these day-to-day necessities, there are more permanent Volunteer positions that are ABSOLUTELY necessary to the functionality of the 2007 season. These positions include:
Team Athletic Directors for both cheer and football
Volunteer Coordinator
Division Commissioners
Details for all of the above mentioned jobs are listed under the Volunteering tab at the top of this page.

Friday, February 16, 2007 Former PYFL Star Killed in Iraq
Lance Cpl. Anthony Melia, United States Marine Corps, was killed in combat in Iraq on Jan. 27, 2007, at the age of 20. Anthony died much as he lived, with passion, bravery, selflessness and unspeakable valor. Anthony was born Aug. 29, 1986, in Sacramento , Calif. After moving to Ventura County , Anthony played youth football for the Thousand Oaks Titans, then attended Thousand Oaks High School where his traits of passion, valor and selflessness were developed on the football field. Anthony starred for the Lancers and made many of the friends he held so close to his heart while wearing green and white. Anthony played the game fearlessly and proudly, battling back from injuries to continue playing the game he loved with those he loved. After graduation, Anthony's calling took him to the United States Marine Corps, where again those traits were immediately recognized, resulting in his rapid rise to team leader. Anthony is survived by his parents, Mike and Vicki; sister, Nicole; brother, Daniel; nephew, Nicholas; grandparents Chuck, Joanne and June, and fiancée Jamie Chunko; along with several aunts, uncles, cousins and friends who loved Anthony deeply. Your prayers are requested for all who knew Anthony and must now show the traits he lived with every day to moved forward without him. A trust fund has been established in Anthony's name at Santa Barbara Bank and Trust. Anyone interested should contact Adriana Sanchez, Santa Barbara Bank and Trust, 4646 Adolfo Road , Camarillo , CA 93012 ; phone 805-384-5321. The fund will be used to create scholarships and opportunities in Anthony's name.
The Thousand Oaks Titans will start a scholarship fund in Anthony Melia's name. www.pyfl.com
