Snack Bar / Booster Table:
- No phones, unless it is an emergency.
- If there is down time please check in with the attending board member, something always needs to be cleaned.
- Do not leave during your shift (this includes ordering food at the snack bar).
- Purses/bags/chairs can no longer be stored in the snack bar (unfortunately, due to a lack of storage space).
Field / Front Gate Security:
- Please keep the field gate closed as much as possible. If you ask people to leave the field but they are not listening, please text a board member for help. A board member will always be available in the Snack Bar or the Triangle area of entry.
- Please stay at the front gate. You may not walk over to watch the game that is going on, you are needed at the front. We will also be relocating the table to directly in front of the opening which means direct sunlight in the morning, please plan accordingly.
- NO CHILDREN ARE ALLOWED TO BE WITH YOU DURING YOUR SHIFT. No children are allowed inside the snack bar, in the boosters booth, or at the front gate. We strategically schedule all volunteer shifts before or after your game and need 100% participation, so please make arrangements for childcare.
Volunteering Requirments - Each family will be required to work a maximum of 12 hours. Families with multiple children participating in the program will be asked to work a maximum of 20 hours. Once the volunteer schedule is prepared, parents will be given two weeks to sign up via a Sign-Up Genius website link. After that, any unfilled shifts will be assigned to those who have not signed up. If you wish to opt out of volunteering, please email your team mom and your $500 volunteer check will be cashed. Please note, we do not want to cash your check!
- We need adults willing to do their part, to make this the amazing organization that it is.
Volunteering Guidelines:
- You may not, under any circumstances, bring your child (of any age) with you during your shift.
- All volunteers are asked to check in for their shift 10 minutes early to allow the person you are relieving to go watch their child play/cheer. Volunteer check-in is right outside the snack bar entry door on the green box. You will need to use the pen to initial that you are checking in for your shift. Once checked in, please go to your designated volunteer location & let the person working know that you are taking over for them. If you are leaving your shift, please update the person taking over on anything they need to know for that position.
- You may have a friend or family member work your shift for you, but they MUST be 18 years of age or older. Please be sure that your friend/family member knows where they are to go to check in.
