Volunteer

Communications Manager

This is a board-level role. No lacrosse experience is needed. Helpful skills for this role - strong, proactive communications skills, organizational skills.

• Maintaining the RGLC mailing list (players, parents, coaches)

• Writing and sending out timely emails as needed to the RGLC community

• Writing and submitting communications to the relevant RHS communications channels (ePTSA, Principal Brewer email, etc.)

• Checking the RGLC gmail account on a regular basis and responding/forwarding mail as needed

• Coordinating communication with the captains as needed

• Attending RGLC monthly board meetings

• Making and distributing the team Sideline Cards (updating the previous year’s card) before the first game of the season

• Drafting and sending out end-of-season survey

• Creating end-of-season “yearbook”

Transportation Coordinator

We will have a lot of underclassmen on the team this year. We’re looking for a parent to help coordinate rides to our six away games, and practices if needed, so that everyone is included.

Experience: No lacrosse experience needed.

Timeframe: During the season as needed

Film/Photo Coordinator

We are looking for a parent to coordinate the following (this parent doesn’t need to be the one filming the game or taking photos - no lacrosse experience needed)

• Coordinate “media day” at the start of the season - team photos in uniform and headshots (typically the first Friday of the season before practice)

• Ensure games are filmed and uploaded to YouTube for coaches. They use film clips as teaching tools. In the past we’ve had a combination of parents and students film games. We provide volunteer service hours for student filmers. We have a tripod. Filmers use their phones.

• Recruit a sideline photographer (parent or student) for home games. We can provide volunteer service hours for student photographers. 

Experience: No lacrosse experience needed.

Timeframe: Starting in January, this person would want to start recruiting students or parents for these roles, and then it would continue throughout the season to ensure we have coverage.

Senior Night Support

RGLC tradition dictates that the juniors take the lead in planning Senior Night. We’re looking for one or two parents who can help support the juniors with planning this event.

Experience: No lacrosse experience needed

Timeframe: Senior Night is typically one of the last home games of the season, so planning usually starts a couple weeks before.

Team Dinner Host

We’re looking for families willing to host potluck dinners for the team. We’re hoping to do two of these during the season.

Game-Day Volunteers

We are required to have volunteers for every game. For each home game, we need parents to help with field set up, work the game table, run the scoreboard, serve as Sideline Manager, and help clean up after the game. For away games, we need volunteers to work the table and serve as Sideline Manager. We provide training for all roles. At the start of the season we will distribute a sign-up for specific games and roles.
