VOLUNTEERS

The AVYAA program is run 100% by volunteers. Without volunteers we wouldn't exist, so it's vital to have parent participation.
Parents are required to volunteer a minimum of 15 hours per season. If you are on a scholarship you are required to volunteer a little more. A participation buyout of $150 allows a family to be exempt from volunteering duties.
Each team will provide a master volunteer signup form prior to the beginning of the season.

Announcing
One person – needs to be comfortable speaking to the crowd with a microphone. Needs to have strong football knowledge and the ability to read referee signals. Must remain unbiased and announce both teams equally. Needs to arrive fifteen minutes prior to game.

Chain Gang
Three people – hold chain or field marker on the opposing sideline, move chains when instructed by the referee. Must remain unbiased and cannot cheer from the sideline. Needs to arrive ten minutes prior to game

MPR
Two people – MPR stands for Mandatory Play Rule. Each football participant must play a minimum amount of plays; the number of plays is dependant upon the size of the team. One MPR monitor stands on the opposing sideline with an MPR sheet that is provided by the opposing coach. As players go in for plays or come out of the game the monitor records the activity on the MPR sheet. The other MPR monitor stands on the home sideline and spots for the opposing team's MPR monitor who is monitoring our team. Watch for players going in and coming out and report it to the monitor. Needs to arrive fifteen minutes prior to game. Your duty is complete when all players have met the MPR requirements.

Snack Bar
Four people – there are many duties in the snack bar, from barbecuing, money handling, dishes, food preparation and contact with the public. It is very important that you are on time and courteous to the public. Please report for your shift with about five minutes left in the game prior to your child’s game. This allows the outgoing parent to leave in a timely fashion and meet up with their child. If you were on the first snack bar shift of the day you would report one hour before your child’s game time. The last shift of the day would stay until all clean up is done.

Score Board
One person – this duty is to run the scoreboard and time clock. Must have football knowledge and the ability to read signals from the referee. Need to report fifteen minutes prior to game time.

EMT
One person – must be doctor, nurse, trained EMT or fire personnel with first-aid / CPR certification. Duty consists of standing on home sideline during home games and assessing any injury that may occur.

There are twelve positions to fill per game, four games per day and four home games in a season. There are also four away games where we provide two MPR workers. Doing the math you find there are two hundred positions to fill throughout the season. As you can see the need is great in order to have a successful season. By working together, we all participate in the success of this program.
Coaches and board members are exempt from participating in the above duties.

Merchandise
One person per game– responsible for selling Almaden merchandise at all home games. Table is set up near the snack shack.
