  • Lunch is not provided- please bring a bag lunch with you.

  • Outside events will occur regardless of the weather, so please dress accordingly.

  • Volunteers must be at least 13 years of age; those 13 through 15 years old must be accompanied by an adult. 

  • Sometimes our sport competitions can end earlier or later than originally scheduled. Please plan to be flexible.
