Hopkins Hustle Volunteers/participation requirements

We are quickly approching the Hustle this weekend, and we can't make it work without parent participation. It's a great weekend that give us an opportunity to show hospitality to the Ultimate community, and provide them with a first class tournament. For many of these teams, this is one of only a few tournaments they attend each year, and we can't make it a great experience without YOU!!!

Individual teams will find out from their coaches exactly what is required of them.

Rather than hosting a potluck at West Jr High for only a few out of town teams, and the members of our team, we've decided to try something new this year. At the end of the last game Saturday, there will be a Showcase game between either some club teams in town, or possibly coaches; still to be announced. Duing this game we will be serving pizza to ALL teams in order to allow them a chance to enjoy a little time socializing and watching some exciting fast paced Ultimate, played at a level most of them probably are aspiring to.

We are asking EVERY FAMILY to bring one bag/box of cookies, brownies etc. so that we can provide dessert for all of the athletes. We are expecting between 750-800 Ultimate players this weekend, so please remember to bring or send with your player, a contribution on SATURDAY MORNING. We will be storing these in the building next to the tent, but you can drop off at the HQ table any time Saturday morning or early afternoon. THESE MUST BE TO THE FIELD NO LATER THAN 2:00 SATURDAY AFTERNOON. If anyone is concerned about their ability to get them to the field, you can make arrangements with me to drop them off ahead of time, but this shouldn't be your first option.

Thank you to those who signed up at the spring meeting; you will be recieving an email from me confirming that you're still available for the job you signed up for. Don't worry if you didn't sign up then, we still have many opportunities:

PARKING LOT: SATURDAY; 7:15-@9:00A.M, SUNDAY; 7:30-@9:00A.M.
There will be a huge number of vehicles trying to find a spot in the parking lot as all of the athletes start arriving. These volunteers will work for a few hours until the majority of the cars are situated, in order to best utilize the space.

MERCHANDISE TENT: SATURDAY AND SUNDAY; TWO SHIFTS AVAILABLE-
8:00A.M.-12:30P.M. and 12:30P.M.-5:00P.M.

this year we are very excited to have 5 Ultimate coming to the Hustle! they will be selling all of the clothing and discs, so we won't be dealing with any of that. What we are doing this year is selling some concessions. Dobo's Catering will once again be offering lunch options, but we will be selling snacks and bottled water. We're hoping people will like the option of stopping by our tent for a quick snack if the lunch line is long, and parents who are stopping to ask for directions to a field may be thrilled to find some cold bottled water available.

PIZZA DISTRIBUTION
Each team will be receiving a "ticket" or "tickets" in their team pack that will be turned in at the end of the day for their pizzas. Each team will recieve the same number of pizzas, this will just allow us to keep track of who has/hasn't gotten pizza yet.

By clicking on the link below you can sign up for any of the above volunteer positions. Please give me your name, email and or phone #, and the position you want to volunteer for.
