Hello Boys Basketball Families,
We would like to apologize for all the back and forth we have been experiencing this year. We are happy to confirm that we have received a new opportunity to host a basketball tournament on June 9th and 10th to make up for the one we lost due to weather. We understand that this is short notice and there are a lot of events happening that weekend, including graduation, but we need your help to make this tournament a success. We have tried to accommodate the craziness of the weekend by shortening the shifts. All shifts will be 2 1/2 hours. So, we are asking all families of current 8th through 11th grade boys to participate in this event.
Boys Basketball Program Volunteer Incentives:
2 shifts (5 hours) – Warm-up top covered by Booster Club
** If you work 5 hours and do not make a basketball team next season, you are still eligible for a warm-up top if you choose. You will not be reimbursed monetarily for hours worked. All grades are eligible for this incentive**
4 shifts (10 hours) – Warm-up top and pants covered by Booster Club
**If you work 10 hours and do not make a basketball team next season, you are eligible for a warm-up top only, if you choose. You will not be reimbursed monetarily for hours worked. **
** Please note that current 8th graders are not eligible for this incentive**
6 shifts (15 hours) – 1/2 of Summer League paid by Booster Club ($60)

Players must be in 10th grade or over 17 to work in stand. Please sign players up on time clocks prior to signing up in concessions. We ask that players only be signed up to work concessions if they have an adult in their family that cannot work during the tournament. Coach Johnson will provide time clock information to the players.**
If any shift is completed, or you are dismissed, prior to the 2.5 hours, you will receive credit for 2.5 hours worked (1 shift). All volunteers MUST sign in once they arrive or they will NOT receive credit for the shift. If all shifts for this tournament are filled and your family has not completed their obligations, we will discuss future available shifts for other events. This is only if ALL shifts fill at this tournament.
Brackets for the tournament will be confirmed the week of June 4th. It is possible some shifts may change. If your shift gets cancelled, we ask that you take on a different shift if possible.
