- We will always need parent to help set up temporary boards at all our home games. No training required, just safe shoes a little muscle!
- Our home games will also require a parent (or two) to operate the scoreboard during a game. If you know how to push a couple buttons and read directions, you are qualified! Please touch base with any of the coaching staff if you are willing to help so we can slot people into a schedule. Thank you!
Use common sense and stay home if you or your child is not feeling well.
