2024 Race Series – White Bear Lake Mountain Bike Team
Volunteer Expectations for All Families
Volunteers are the cornerstone of our operations, guaranteeing smooth and safe experiences for our student-athletes. With 53 riders and over 20 coaches, it takes a collective effort from all families to support our team and maintain our high standards of organization and safety. Please take note of the following expectations we have set for each family to support our team this season. There will be other volunteer opportunities that will be communicated, but these two are the most pressing:
Lot Parent during Practices →
Expectation: 2 practices per season per family.
Volunteers needed next 3 weeks:
– Tues 9/10: filled
– Thurs 9/12: 1 volunteer needed
– Tues 9/17: 1 volunteer needed
– Thurs 9/19: 2 volunteers needed
– Tues 9/24: 1 volunteer needed
– Thurs 9/26: 2 volunteers needed
An essential volunteer role is that of the Lot Parent during practices. We ask each family to commit to serving as Lot Parent for 2 practices per season. It's a wonderful opportunity to get to know the team and connect with other parents/guardians while supporting our student-athletes.
