Northampton Cudas!

Please go to the TeamUnify site and follow the instructions below as soon as you can to sign up for something. Some of the most wanted jobs are filling up fast or already filled.

We are trying to plan for the entire season using this system and there are a lot of areas that we still need your help. The following areas really need YOU:

Casino Night: This is a great way to get your volunteer hours completed somewhat at your own leisure and without having to work at the meets or during practice. We need you NOW in order to make this year’s annual event the best ever!! Volunteers on this committee help obtain donations for silent and live auction items, help in the planning, and set up of Casino Night, and “host” this event. This year Casino Night will be held on June 11th. This is our main Cuda fundraiser and we need your help!!

Concessions: These volunteers run the “Cuda Snack Shack”!! There are several ways to help out in this area ranging from setting everything up to running the ice machines to selling the “goods.” This is one of the most happening places at the meet. There is rarely a dull moment here and the time will surely fly by!! Don’t worry about missing your kiddo(s) swim, we will try to accommodate during those times.

Ready Bench: This is the perfect job if you want to see all the action!! If you want to get up close and personal on the pool deck this is the place for you. This is another place where the meet really flies! Ready bench volunteers help line swimmers up in their assigned lanes, assist swimmers from the waiting area to the pool deck, and help relay teams line up in order. This area is crucial to keeping the meet running efficiently and smoothly and we need you!!

Tent Parents: This is the best job if you want to be able to share the entire swim meet experience with your child and their friends. Tent parents are some of our most cherished volunteers!! We need you to be responsible for an age group tent, check in kiddos and make sure they are to the ready bench in time for their events. Sign up with a friend or two, it’s easier and more fun to share the job! Please plan to volunteer for this position at every meet to keep consistency for the swimmers.We specifically need Boys 7-8, 11-12, 13-14 and Girls 6 and under, 7-8, 9-10, 11-12, and 13-14.
