Our annual Long Course Invitational is an “all hands on deck” event, and we can use your help!
Here are some things we can use your help with:
-Timing: super easy, and we will train you!
-Concession Stand: you’ll be in the shade, and you’ll get to meet great people
-Hospitality Room: you’ll be able to help keep coaches and officials fed, hydrated, and happy!
-Set Up & Tear Down: it’s a great way to learn what it takes to run a meet and get in a quick workout!

We’re happy to sign service hour forms for any teenagers that need service hours for school or other organizations.
