What can you do at a tourney?
July 4, 2003 It takes only a few JOAD tournaments to realize that there are many
ways a JOAD parent can support their archer at a tournament. One of the best
ways is to volunteer to help make the tournament run smoothly and
quickly. The key is to let the
tournament organizer know that you are there to help wherever you can and to
jump in and help when you see the need.
Here are some of the different tasks that you can volunteer for. Before the tournament, volunteer your equipment like ATCs,
generators, trailers, etc. A half day or full
day before official practice…
·
Help layout and stripe the field. ·
Set up canopies, chairs and judges
chairs and umbrellas. ·
Move target stands and butts. ·
Set up the timing system and lights. ·
Set up equipment, wires, extension
cords, generators, tables, bulletins, trash cans. During the tournament…
·
Assist at the registration desk. ·
Help at the concession stand. ·
Keep water jugs filled with ice and
water. Get water to the judges. ·
Move and stake target stands at
distance changes. ·
Change target faces. ·
Help with the leader board by running
scores or posting them. ·
Let the tournament officials know when
there is a problem. (ie, full port a
potties) And in an official
capacity…
·
Register with the NAA and volunteer to
be a judge. ·
Data enter scores for the official
results. ·
Ultimately become the Chairman of
Judges (COJ), Director of Shooting (DOS) or Tournament organizer. PS…Be sure to
take care of yourself and your archer.
Be sure both of you, wear sunscreen, drink water, eat healthy snacks
and food. Return to Top Return to
