Nutrition Program Volunteers

Ultimate Frisbee Adult Support

We need parent support in 2021 more than ever! Since we have limited coaching staff this year, we need supervision and chaperones at games AND practices if we are going to proceed with a season. Anyone who agrees to sign up as coach/chaperone will need to complete a background check with USA Ultimate. Kate (Ultimate Coordinator) will follow up with you about how to fulfill requirements and scheduling, etc.
