Chapparal Sharks

VOLUNTEER INFORMATION

Volunteer Requirements (Per Family)
Volunteers are essential for the Chapparal Shark swim team to function and to provide a good sporting experience for everyone.  Meets are staffed completely by volunteers and it takes a minimum of 80 volunteers to run each meet.  Each family is required to contribute volunteer time (no exceptions) and is asked to sign up for a minimum of 7 volunteer shifts

There are numerous ways to contribute, not all of which require you to attend a meet.  We realize that some families have small children they need to attend to during the meets, and know that there are volunteer opportunities available during the week and at each of our social functions as well as during each swim meet.  These positions fill fast and are given to families that need the flexibility first.  If you are one of these families with special circumstances, you will need to sign up for the Special Needs Volunteer shifts for the weeks you are available and work with the Volunteer Coordination team to get your shifts in.  

Our on-line registration and Volunteer sign-up went so well last year that we are continuing with the same process and with some improvements.   When you register your swimmer(s), you will be asked to select a minimum of 7 volunteer positions and may sign up to as much as 2 shifts per meet. The actual shifts will be assigned at a later time.
