Volunteers for the Meets
We need YOU! Home meets cannot run without volunteers. If everyone pitches in, it can be manageable for all. Here are some details:
● You will never miss watching your athlete compete. If you are signed-up to volunteer and your athlete is about to compete you can always step away to cheer on your athlete!
● Volunteers are needed for helping with field events, concessions, and hospitality (invite only). Sign-up will be available through CheedarUp.
● Concession and hospitality donation opportunities (Fry's gift cards, Gatorade, chips, etc.) are also posted.
● Questions? Email us.
Home meet dates: 2/24, 2/28 (TBD), 3/30, 4/10, 4/24
