Public Schedule and Results (coming in May 2010)
Classic Volunteer Help
We hope to have a great weekend of soccer and other fun activities at the tournament. There are several areas where we need individuals to oversee activities or booths in 2-hour increments of time. We realize that no one has a schedule of their player’s games at this point. If you are a Classic volunteer or need volunteer hours, please begin to look over the following opportunities and decide which areas interest you most. Then contact that chairperson and let them know when they can count on you and how many shifts you can volunteer. When the tournament gets closer and an actual schedule is generated, re-contact the appropriate chairperson and confirm your times and give them your e-mail and your preferred phone number. Thank you for your generous 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:

Your name, home phone, cell phone, and child's team (example: U13 Boys Red, Coach Smith).
Thank you in advance for your help. We are looking forward to a fabulous tournament!
