We need A LOT of help to make our meets run smoothly! Please visit the volunteer link below to sign up. Every family should plan to volunteer for at least 3-4 jobs per diver during the season–we have 3 home meets in a row this year we cannot underscore enough that we need EVERY family helping out. Please read the dive meet job descriptions below to learn about the different types of help we need.
Thanks in advance for your help!
| Dive Job Descriptions
Dive Meet Jobs Table Workers: This is a job for someone who likes to work with numbers. A side benefit is you get a good seat and you meet people from other teams. There are several jobs at the table. Most jobs include adding and double-checking someone else’s adding. Calculators are available. Easy on the job training provided. Time required: part or duration of meet. Meet Secretary: Lists all divers from both teams prior to meet. Records and tallies the scores of the meet while in progress. Works closely with ribbon writer. Time required: duration of meet (this is done by one of the dive reps so keep in mind if you ever want to be a dive rep in the future) Ribbon Writer: Records scores on labels provided and attaches these to provided ribbons. Time required: duration of meet. (this is done by one of the dive reps) Judge: This gives you the best seat in the house! Judges watch each dive and give a corresponding score. There are 5 judges at each meet. The high and low score are tossed out and the middle 3 are used for the final score. This is not as scary as it sounds. Judges need to attain a basic training session; bring a friend! It’s free and fun and we’ll keep practicing as the season progresses. As a new Judge we will start you out on the younger divers and move you up, as you feel comfortable. It’s a great way to learn the sport and support your kids. Time required: Half a meet or duration of the meet Referee: This job requires additional training and should be attempted by someone who has been a judge for at least two years.
