Manta Rays Families,

We have been hard at work preparing for this upcoming season!  We are in desperate need of some key positions to help the upcoming season run as smoothly as years past.

Concessions Coordinator (board position): Need 1 person.  The concessions coordinator operates the concession stand by deciding what will be sold, how much to charge, ordering and purchasing items to be sold, working the stand at the home meets, coordinating necessary equipment (coolers, tables, cooking equipment, etc.).  Our former concessions coordinator said she will give you guidance on what worked for her in the past.

Starter (training required): Need 1 person.  Starter’s primary job is to ensure all swimmers have a fair and equitable start, knows the MSSL rules and how they are applied, and is familiar with the whistle start procedures. 1 year as a stroke and turn judge prior to being a starter.

Stroke and Turn Judges (training required): Need 3 people.  We are losing 2-3 stroke and turn judges this season.  We desperately need more parents trained. Stroke and Turn Judge observes the swimmers in their assigned lanes, makes a disqualification when applicable, and understands the MSSL and swim stroke rules and how they are applied.

Assistant Scorekeeper (training required): Need 1 person. Scorekeeper takes the data from the lane timer sheets and inputs it into the Meet Manager software.    At the end of the meet, the scorekeeper will print ribbon labels and asks the Referee and the 2 Head Coaches to sign the final score sheet.

Head Ready Bench: Need 1 more person. There are 3 other wonderful head ready bench parents who will help you and give you guidance in this role.  The head ready bench leads the Ready Bench volunteers in performing their functions and ensure that the Ready Bench is running efficiently,ensures all volunteers have an updated Heat Sheet, marks absent swimmers on Heat Sheet, notifies Coach of any missing swimmers or issues,performs all bench volunteer duties and assists with runner duties as needed.

I want to send a BIG THANKS to ​Alex & David Diharce, Mindy & Derek Waters, Nicole & Greg Motl, and Christina Roland!  The team and I appreciate the huge role you guys and gals have filled on the team over the years!  

Please email me if you can help fill any of these roles. [email protected] 

Sincerely,
Kelly Hunt
