2012 Classic Volunteer Help
The Stockman Bank Magic City Classic is just around the corner and that means our committee chairs are needing volunteers. Most jobs are scheduled in 2-4 hour shifts. The following is a list of various tournament volunteer opportunities. ONLY SIGN UP WITH ONE GROUP TO AVOID GETTING DOUBLE BOOKED! Tournament Volunteer Coordinators will attempt to schedule around your child/children's games on Saturday. This is more difficult to do on Sunday as those game schedules are dependent on the outcome of Saturday games. In order to accommodate this, please include the following: Your name, home phone, cell phone, and child's team (example: U13 Boys Red, Coach Smith).
***** Team Field Volunteers are needed to help with Classic field prep and to put up nets on Friday, May 4th, at noon. *****
