CBGC Parent Participation
2009 - 2010
Swimming is a volunteer intensive sport. All parents must assist in the operation of every meet. It is impossible to run these meets without everyone's help.
Parents must volunteer for:
1. Two Dual Meets. (2 hours per meet)
2. Be a timer for USAS meets as needed.
3. Winter Cup (5 hours per child)
4. Fundraisers:
a. Swim Marathon (minimum $20) October 17, 2008.
b. One case of Water or Gatorade per child per season (to be used for sale at the concession stand during home swim meets).
c. Florida Nationals Championship (April) All swimmers, regardless if attending this meet or not, must help fundraise
d. May- Golf Tournament- volunteering at concession stands (minimum of 4 hours per child)
Fee for missed assignment is $100.
Dual Meets (Home)
Each volunteer must work 2 hours per meet. Please stay for the entire duration of your assignment; you may not leave and come back to finish the hours. If you cannot work your assignment, you MUST find a replacement.
If your child becomes sick and cannot attend the meet, a replacement will be provided but the parent must notify Nadia and volunteer to make up the missed assignment at one of the future dual meets or they will be charged a fee of $100 per missed assignment.
Fee for missed assignment is $100.
Please refer to the Parents - Dual Meets page for descriptions/information about assignments.
USAS Meets
At USAS Meets, CBGC is given timing assignments by the host team. As a courtesy to the host team, we expect a parent to time once every two USAS meets that their child attends. The length of each assignment will depend on the number of swimmers attending the meet and the length of the session. Once assigned, parents are expected to fulfill their assignment or find a replacement.
Remember, you must accompany your child to every USAS meet, or your child will not be able to swim.
If the swimmer becomes sick and cannot attend the meet, a replacement will be provided but the parent must notify Vlad so they can be re-assigned appropriately to a future meet.
Fee for missed assignment is $100.
Scratches: It is your responsibility to know the meet entry procedures and to check the bulletin boards and website regularly to know if your swimmer has been entered in a meet. If your swimmer is entered for any meet, by you or the coach, and you need to 'scratch' from that meet, you must inform the coach that will be at the meet as early as possible. In addition, you must notify Vlad, otherwise you may be assigned to time and subsequently charged $100 for failing to fulfill your assignment.
Hosted meets are USAS meets run by CBGC. Job preferences are posted as we prepare for the meet.
Volunteer requirements for hosted meets are listed below:
Parents of all swimmers entered in Wintercup meet will be assigned to volunteer. Once you are assigned based on the entries, a $100 fee will be charged for anyone not working. Parents must volunteer 5 hours per child.
Fee for missed assignment for WinterCup is $100.
