Volunteering
Running a high school cross country team requires a tremendous amount of resources. The more active and involved the parent community, the better the experience will be for all of the athletes. Please consider volunteering. Some examples of areas where volunteering will be needed are:
- Equipment transportation to meets (EZ ups, tarps, water/drinks, etc)
- Donating (water/drinks, fundraising)
- Athlete transportation (off campus practices, possibly meets)
- Pre meet team pasta dinners (usually before league meets)
- Post season banquet (planning, set up, take down)
If you would like to volunteer or have ideas on other areas that would make the athlete experience the best if can be, please email: volunteer@venturahighxc.com
