News / requests for help from parents & families. The team needs your help! Please message me if you can help out with any of these items:
Tournaments need help from family members to help setup, teardown, ensure that water is available to all the fields, staff the tournament HQ tent, etc. Please keep an eye out for a signup sheet for volunteers for the state tournament!
Senior night gift: we like to provide a little something for seniors as they reach the end of their CHills career. I need a parent who is willing to find something for them and purchase them (there is team budget for this).
Team dinner. We like to have a team dinner for some carb loading and some shared team time the evening before the state tournament. I need a parent / family willing to organize this event! We prefer something somewhat informal - it doesn't need to be anything fancy. Typically we make it a potluck. Some families in the past have provided their home or yard for this, but you don't need to. The Park Village Park Pavilion is the most common venue for this event, and it works quite well for it. I just need someone who is willing to organize this event (set a time, send out info, ask for potluck items, etc)
