Hi everyone, just a quick reminder that volunteer sign-ups for the season open THURSDAY May 15 at 8pm on our website. You will be signing up for shifts for the whole season.

• As in past years, each family is required to sign up for six volunteer credits. Some jobs are worth one credit, some two – based on the amount of time required and the difficulty of the job. 
• There are plenty of spots for everyone – we let parents choose first, then fill in the remaining spots with college kids that we use volunteer buyout money to hire. 
• If your schedule is limited this summer and you can only work certain meets, you will need to log on right away at 8pm to get those spots (we cannot accommodate you after the fact). If you are flexible, you don't need to rush to log on

IMPORTANT: Volunteer sign-ups will be located under each meet on our Team Calendar, so there are SIX possible sign-ups:

Regular Season Meet Signups:

June 4

June 11

June 18

June 25

July 2

Champs signups:

July 11 evening (11 & Up swimmers) or July 12 morning (10 & Under)

To access a sign up from our home page, locate the Upcoming Events section in the top right corner. Click 'View All' and go to the meet you'd like to sign up for. The JOB SIGNUP button may not appear until right at 8pm on May 15.

The volunteer sign-up will remain open until Sunday, May 18 at midnight – after that, it will close for the season so that we may fill the remaining open positions with college kids. If, after May 18, you find that something you signed up for does not work, you will need to make arrangements to switch with someone or send a replacement. (A replacement can be a relative, friend, babysitter, neighbor that you pay a few bucks...) We are not responsible for filling your spot should you decide to change/cancel. If you do not show for a shift you signed up for, your swimmer(s) will not be eligible to swim at champs or register for the Mustangs in subsequent seasons. There will not be any exceptions to this rule.

Our apologies for being so strict on the cancellation policy – we were more lenient back in the early days of Mustangs and the no shows/cancels were a problem, so we really do have to be strict about it. Thank you for understanding!

Sample Volunteer Sign-Up

For those of you new to all of this, if you would like to take a look at a sample sign-up (and even practice signing up and cancelling), we have a meet called ‘"PRETEND MEET" on our website that looks just like a real meet. It has all possible volunteer jobs listed. Feel free to read and play around there – you can’t mess anything up as it’s not a real meet! You can review a list of all volunteer jobs in advance. Please note: these jobs will not count for any volunteer credit.

Thanks in advance for all your volunteer help! It takes 40+ people per meet (just from our team) to make a meet happen!
