Stonegate Stingrays

Each family is required to earn 5 points throughout the season. There is no requirement to earn points during the Championship Week. However, points are a higher value that week so you could earn your points faster. This is a break down of the dates, jobs, and point values. 

2024 STONEGATE STINGRAYS VOLUNTEER POLICY

Swimming is different from other sports in that many volunteers are needed to run a successful swim meet. Because of this, the Stonegate Stingrays require every family to volunteer their time to help at the meets and behind the scenes.

1. Each family is required to earn a total of FIVE (5) VOLUNTEER points during the season.
2. Mini Ray families are required to earn a total of ONE (1) Volunteer points during the season.
3. Volunteer sign up will begin April 21st. Every family must register for FIVE volunteer points. 
4. Once you sign up for a volunteer shift, YOU are responsible for satisfying that volunteer shift. Please DO NOT call the Parent Reps or Volunteer Coordinator to ask to be released from your volunteer shift. THEY WILL NOT RELEASE YOU FROM THE ASSIGNED SHIFT.
5. If you cannot work the shifts that you selected, it is YOUR OBLIGATION to find someone else to cover your shift. It is not the responsibility of the Parent Reps or Volunteer Coordinator to make shift changes for you. You must find someone to cover your assigned shift. Once you do so, you must notify the Parent Reps and Volunteer Coordinator in writing of the change prior to the event.
6. Every family is required to pay a $300 volunteer deposit with their registration. If you fail to fulfill your family’s volunteer obligation, you will FORFEIT your $300 volunteer deposit.
7. Volunteer shift assignments reminders will be sent each week. You can review each of your shifts online through the website by clicking on the name of the meet in the EVENTS tab.
8. Descriptions of the volunteer job duties are posted on the Stonegate Stingray's website. You will also be expected to cover the shift for the entire period of time.
9. Volunteers should check in at the volunteer check-in table on the morning of the swim meet between 6:30 am and 8:00 am and pick up your name tag.
10. Please pay attention to any announcements during meets regarding shift assignments and volunteers needed.
11. Please report to your shift assignment five (5) minutes before the start of your shift assignment. Volunteers should check-in with the appropriate committee head prior to the start of their shift.
12. Occasionally an event has to be canceled and rescheduled due to adverse weather conditions. If you were scheduled to volunteer at an event which is canceled due to weather, you will be assigned to volunteer at the re-scheduled event.
13. All disputes regarding volunteer issues will be resolved at the sole discretion and authority of the Stonegate Stingray Parent Reps.

The volunteer options below are for Mini-Ray families. Mini Rays will be able to sign up for volunteering when you register on April 7th.
