Hello FOST Families! 

We're super excited for another AMAZING season of swim! As we gear up, here are the important details about volunteering for 2024: 

Volunteer Sign-Ups 

• Sign-ups will open the week of each meet - You'll receive an email and Facebook post with the sign-up link 
• Log into your FOST account and sign up for one shift per meet/event initially 
• If shifts remain after everyone signs up, we'll open for multiple shifts per family 

Mandatory Volunteer Meets 

**Mandatory events do not count towards your volunteer points** 

• Black and Green (inner team competition)
• Divisionals (with all teams we compete against) 
• Invitationals (Summer Thunder, Red-White & Blue, All-Stars) if your swimmer qualifie

Volunteer Requirements

• Each family is responsible for 15 volunteer points over the season
• Point values have been simplified to whole numbers (no partial points) 
• This roughly equals signing up for one shift per meet
• With our smaller team size, increased volunteer commitment is essential

**Parents with older swimmer’s in later events please consider afternoon volunteer shifts. We have a lot of 10 and under that do not swim in the later events ** 

Sign-In Process (day of meet)

• Sign in with Adam (Volunteer Coordinator) at each meet 
• This ensures you receive credit for your shift 

Remember, volunteering is a marathon, not a sprint! Please spread out your shifts across the season instead of frontloading the early meets. We need consistent volunteer support from start to finish for a successful season. 

Let's make this an incredible year! Thank you for your commitment to FOST.

Thank you 

Adam Schmidt
