HVWC Volunteer Policy
Tournament Service
1. Each family, with at least one child participating in a Pre-k - 8th grade practices, will be required to work 1 tournament service position (approximately 4 hours per position) the day of our Holmen Youth Tournament (dates TBD). The volunteer schedule will be available for sign up 4 - 6 weeks prior to the weekend of the tournament. You will be notified, at the time of posting, the positions needing to be filled. It is the parent’s responsibility to sign up for their service positions prior to the start of the tournament. Phone calls will not be made to recruit help.
2. The HVWC will share a link to Signup Genius, which lists the approved jobs needing volunteers. To request filling one of these jobs, a person will need to log into that site and sign up for a time. No other jobs, unless approved prior to the act, will be accepted as tournament service positions. Sign up is on a “first come first serve” basis.
3. Coach’s families WILL be required to fill the same number of tournament positions as other families.
4. A deposit check of $150.00 will be due at the time of the parents meeting for each family in the Pre-K – 8th grade divisions. This check will be kept in a safety deposit box and will not be cashed during the season. The check will be distributed back to you or shredded after the season if you have met the required amount of Tournament Service positions, and if the wrestler’s uniform has been returned. A child will not be allowed to wrestle until the check has been received.
5. If a family does not meet the Tournament Service Position requirements, or if the wrestler has not returned their uniform by the time the season is completed, the deposit check will then be cashed and deposited into the HVWC account after the season. If the check is not honored due to non-sufficient funds, it is the responsibility of the family to cover the dishonored check and any bank charges assessed to HVWC.
Volunteer Recording Requirements
1. The volunteer job completed will be recorded according to the family’s name. Any adult on behalf of that family may fill a job. Only the family’s name listed on the Volunteer Service Schedule will receive credit for the job worked.
2. Once you have been confirmed to a job, it is your responsibility to find an adult replacement for that job in the event you are unable to fill your scheduled service time.
3. When a volunteer has completed their job, they must sign the sign-in sheet. This must be completed or the hours will not be accepted. Sign-in sheets will be at the tournaments . If the sign-in sheet is not signed, the family will be unconfirmed for the job they signed up for and will not receive credit for that position.
4. It is the parent’s responsibility to make sure their jobs have been confirmed correctly. If there are any problems found, a parent should contact the HVWC board. Appeals must be made within 2 weeks from the date of service worked or they will not be considered.
5. In the event of inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances, it is your responsibility to report for your scheduled position or service hours unless you are notified by a HVWC representative. A HVWC representative will also notify you either then or at a near future date whether your tournament position will be rescheduled to another time. If it cannot be rescheduled, you will receive credit for your time. You are still required to complete a Volunteer Service Schedule noting the reason for the credit and name of the HVWC representative that notified you.
6. If at any time a family cannot fulfill their Tournament hours due to hardship, a request can be made to the HVWC board to be considered for exemption.
