Reminder: We are opening volunteer spots for the entire season tomorrow, Monday, May 15 @ 8pm. Job signups can be found on our event calendar and will not show until right at 8pm. Signups will close for the season on Wednesday, May 17 @ 8pm. ALL families should complete their volunteer sign-ups at this time unless:

• You paid the volunteer buyout (and received an email confirming tonight!)
• You volunteered to work in other coordinator roles earlier in the season and will complete six full volunteer credits in those roles (please check with us if you're not sure!)

Each family is required to sign up for six volunteer credits. Some jobs are worth one credit, some two – number of credits is noted on the signup. Jobs for all meets will open at 8pm on May 15. There are PLENTY of spots for everyone – we will let parents choose first, then fill in the remaining spots with college kids that we use volunteer buyout money to hire.

The volunteer sign-up will remain open until Wednesday, May 17 at 8pm – after that, it will close for the season so that we may fill the remaining open positions with college kids. If, after May 17, 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.

We’re hoping this makes it easier for you to sign up (just once!) but if you don’t like it, we can go back to the week-by-week method next year! And apologies for being so strict on the cancellation policy – we tried it this way 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/Practice 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. (This is not an actual meet or event; it is just for practice signing up.) This "meet" has all possible volunteer jobs associated with it, and you can even practice committing your swimmers to the meet. Feel free to read and play around there – you can’t mess anything up! You can review a list of all volunteer jobs and reach out before 5/15 if you have any questions.

Mark your calendars for tomorrow at 8pm!
