PARENT DUTIES
Representative parent duties are mandatory for all athletes competing at a representative carnival. Parents must give a commitment of help for each and every representative carnival at which they have a child competing. Where the duty roster fills up prior to a parent selecting a duty they will be required to do an additional duty at the following representative carnival or on a normal competition day in the case where there are no athletes from the family competing at the next representative carnival.
A link to the parent duty roster will be sent out once the teams are announced – get in quick to give yourself the best chance of securing your preferred duty at a time convenient to you. If there are issues preventing you from fulfilling this requirement, please advise both the Manager for Championships (championships@mwlac.org.au) and the Manager for Volunteers (volunteers@mwlac.org.au) so that a resolution can be found prior to the event. The earlier you make contact, the easier the issue might be to resolve, giving your athlete(s) the best opportunity of being able to compete.
On the day, all parent helpers must report to the Manly Warringah Team Manager at least 15 minutes prior to attending your rostered duty. It is important that your name is marked off by one of the team managers or assistants.
If you have signed up as a reserve, you must also sign in with the Manly Warringah Team Manager at least 15 minutes prior to the commencement of your duty. If we have not been able to fill a duty or if a duty becomes available that falls within the period you have signed up, you will be moved to that duty. Where there is advance warning, we will communicate any updates via email or alternatively we will advise you when you check in. If there are no unfulfilled duties, we will ask you to leave your mobile number and we will call you if required.
All parent helpers must be wearing closed in shoes – not thongs or sandals.
ATHLETE CHECK IN
Athletes MUST check-in with the Manly Warringah Team Manager at least ONE HOUR PRIOR to their event. Uniforms, patches and parent duties will be checked at this time.
