MARS Volunteer Point System
The following is information regarding our team Volunteer Policy. This information is taken from our Team Manual.
VOLUNTEER COMMITMENT:
Volunteers can be a great asset to any organization and help enrich all aspects of our program. Family participation is necessary to ensure the continued success of the team. Throughout you and your family’s association with MARS, we ask you support the team through volunteer activities. One of the main events that require many volunteers are our swim meets that we host 2-3 times per year. According to USA swimming, successful swim meets require approximately 60 volunteers. Therefore, a successful MARS meet requires volunteers from each swimmer’s parents.Every family is required to complete 8 points by December 31
st, and another 8 points are required to be completed by July 31st. Any point not completed will result in a charge of $20 for each point not completed. Please see Appendix A for the complete details and list of volunteer jobs.A chart of volunteer opportunities and their associated points can be found in the Team Manual in Appendix A. This chart is a sample chart an is not an exhaustive list of volunteer opportunities. We welcome new ideas from our families. We all have special skills, some of which may be beneficial to the team as a whole. If you have an idea that you think may help please let us know. Contact Coach Suzanne to discuss your ideas.
