There are a multitude of volunteer opportunities for parents of program participants to support individual teams and cheer squads. Each team has a Team Parent who coordinates snack bar workers, arranges for half-time and end-of-game refreshments, and, in general, helps the coaching staff with non-playing details. Some coaches appreciate having someone on the sidelines to keep statistics to aid in analyzing individual and team performance. A parent may be designated to video tape each game to aid in coaching, as well as having a taped record of the season.

Feel like helping with the equipment for your team? Please see your Head Coach for TEAM equipment manager position. Each team will have an assigned person to handle this. You would work directly with (position for chapter equipment manager is still open), the Chapter Equipment Manager.

On game days, the following are required:

> Chain and Down box volunteers (affectionately known as "The Chain Gang!)
> Announcer and spotters in the press box
> Field set-up and tear down crews

If you have football experience and would like to help coach, make the desire known to your head coach. He or she will probably welcome your interest and put you to work. You may even be bitten by the JAAF bug and stay on for years! (Most teams have coaches already - but it never hurts to let them know you are willing to help)

Above all, do not be afraid to let it be known that you want to help. Even if the position is already taken your offer to help will be appreciated.
The entire NSBIEJAAF program is organized by volunteers!


Donate your cleats if they no longer fit you. You can bring them to any sign up date. We will make these available to any player who may need a pair. Thank you.
