Volunteering at the Fremont
FLL Qualifying Tournament
We need MANY volunteers to
help make the tournament successful.
The 2008 tournament is not completely confirmed - it is expected to be
held on Sunday, December 14th from 8am to 5pm at MSJ HS
If you are not able to volunteer for Fremont, other tournaments also need help. Here is the general volunteer page for all tournaments
To volunteer, please send email
to fllvolunteer@playingatlearning.org
with your preference on where and how you can help. Monetary and In-Kind donations are still needed as well.
Setup/Teardown
PIT and competition floor setup will occur Saturday 12/13 evening - we expect to need 3 hours. Exact time will be published once date/location is completely confirmed.
Teardown and cleanup of all equipment will begin
immediately following the awards ceremony - we expect from 5-7pm. We really
need help loading the trucks on Sunday evening at 5:30pm .
Tournament Day - highest priority positions (Volunteer descriptions)
Judges and Referees will need to read and understand materials from FLL; training is expected to take about 2 hours (possibly less if you have FLL experience).
The positions below with an * are most critical to fill - Please help recruit volunteers for these positions!!!
