The 2025-26 Basketball Season is arriving soon, and we are now offering contracts for non-profit organizations looking to raise funds!
Contract Requirements
Contract Requirements
Staffing Requirement and TIPS-certification
The staffing requirement for each game is the same, 13-18 people, of which 6 or more must be TIPS-certified as we serve alcoholic beverages at all locations in the Xfinity Center.
Games Requirement
This year, there are 16 men’s games and 19 women’s games this year, for a total of 35 games to choose from.
For a full contract, you must sign up for seven or more home games. At least 4 of those games must be “essential” games. Essential games are categorized by us as being difficult to staff, extra busy, during breaks, non-conference games, during normal work hours, or for many other reasons, and of the 35 games, 22 are considered essential.
After groups which can commit to the full requirement, if there are still openings, we may be able to offer partial contracts. Please note that partial contracts also require essential games, at a proportion equal or higher than a full contract.
Basketball Schedule
You can determine which games are “essential” using the game schedules, which are provided below, with fundraising availability updated daily. Please look through the days available and let me know which your group would like. As a reminder, you are welcome to sign up for more than seven games if interested, which will also increase your end-of-season bonus.
Times have not yet been announced for any games. Please assume that weekday games will overlap with normal business hours until we have official times.

Check-In, Security, and Uniform Policy
Check-In, Security, and Uniform Policy
All basketball home games are played at the Xfinity Center on UMD's campus. Group members should report to Check-In at their report time, which can be found at Gate E (near Terrapin Train Garage) on the western end of the stadium.
Check-In: Gate E (Pin Above)
Please be aware Google may recommend you walk up the hill to reach Gate E which is currently blocked by new construction. You can easily reach check-in from the north, but from the south you will need to walk all the way to the edge of the construction fence (edge away from the building), and walk up the dirt path there. It is not an official path, just a small gap for those who want to walk up the hill.
Uniform Policy
Everyone must wear long pants without holes. No shorts!
Everyone must wear closed-toe and closed-heel shoes. No sandals or flip flops!
Everyone must wear a hat or visor. The hat must be UMD, Under Armour, or plain OR you can wear a hat with your organization's name or logo on it. No other brand names or professional teams.

Everyone will be given a Concessions uniform shirt or smock after arriving at their location. It must be returned to us at the end of the game.
