Parent Game Day Responsibilities

Parents play a vital role in athletics.  When it comes to game day we need your help driving the players and arriving on time for the team meetings before games.  We love you cheering positively for all members of the team.  And we need your assistance at the desk.

When we host at Gunn or Paly we need multiple parents covering all game of the tournament.  When we are ‘away’ we need 1 parent at the desk per game.  Our coaching staff has plenty on their plate meeting and getting the players organized for games.  Please coordinate with one another who will help each game.  Please step forward to volunteer, everyone can learn and be successful.

A few reminders about working the desk are below.
