Training Frequently Asked Questions
What are the volunteer requirements to qualify for reimbursement?
The training reimbursement policy requires two volunteer responsibilities during the year.
- Each team must work a 1/2 day shift at the snack bar.
- Each team must work at the Battle At HillTop tournament.
Snack Bar Volunteer Policy
- All teams will be offered an opportunity to work one 1/2 day shift at the snack bar at the beginning of every Fall and Spring season.
- Once a team has worked the snack bar in either season, they are eligible to receive training reimbursement funds based on the previous year's training fund payout.
- A deadline date will be specified in each snack bar volunteer request letter sent via email, as a last date for regular sign-ups.
- After the deadline date specified has past, a second letter will go out again to all teams offering them the opportunity to earn an additional portion of the previous year's training fund payout for each additional time slot filled.
- Teams may sign-up for as many slots as are available.
- All time slots will be filled on a first-come first-served basis.
