Please see the note below from Franke Marsden, manager of the GHSA State Meet, regarding the need for volunteers.
January 20, 2022
Coaches,
My how a year changes things. This
time last year I had parents offering everything under the sun to be
able to volunteer at the meet. This year, not so much. Our initial round
of volunteer signups was good, but not quite good
enough to staff the meet. We are still shy a number of volunteers,
particularly timers, for this year's meet. Please help us out by sharing
the information below on signing up to volunteer for this year's GHSA
State Meet. We are open to anyone who wants to
help out at the meet, it does not just have to be parents, those
students who need some extra service hours can attend a great swim meet
for FREE. Please help us by getting the meet staffed or I will send more
e mails. Your help is greatly appreciated.
GHSA State Meet Volunteer Info and How to Sign Up
We
are eagerly anticipating a great 2022 GHSA State Swim and Dive meet at
the Georgia Tech Aquatic Center February 3-5. We are excited to welcome
spectators to this
year’s meet, and with that we will need volunteers to help out with
this year’s meet. With your assistance each year we are able to conduct a
great event for the athletes, coaches and spectators. Your volunteers
provided the backbone that was an extremely
well run state meet. We are again asking for your help this year. We
would like to ask for your help in securing volunteers for this year's
meet. The primary areas we will need help will be in the areas of
timing, runners, deck control, and hospitality workers
for swimming and diving. With the return to two pools for prelims it is
crucial for you to help us in getting enough bodies to cover all the
timing spots. You never know when one of those invaluable timers will be
the person that provides the backup time that
helps get your kid into finals. We will even let the timers pick which
pool they want to work when they sign up.If
we could ask your help in communicating this with your swimmers'
parents and your booster clubs it would be greatly appreciated. It is an
excellent opportunity
for them to have a front row seat for the action, as well as help us
state a well-run event. Volunteers get free admission and a front row
seat for the action. Unfortunately, with further restrictions on
parking, we cannot offer them free parking as we have
in the past. We have all attended well run meets and poorly run meets
and know which one we would like our state meet to be.To sign up for the meet your parents can visit ghssca.com and click on the State Meet Volunteers link
2022
State Meet Volunteer Signup Link to
reserve their position. There, they can provide some basic contact
information, select the job they want, and which session
or sessions they can work. Jobs will be available on a first come first
served basis. While the pay isn't much to brag about, but their
contribution will be invaluable. All we ask you to do is share this
information with your parents so we can go into the
meet with all of our positions staffed and guarantee on time start
times for each session.
Thanks for your help,
Franke Marsden
