parent support

Volunteer Committees: You can place yourself on any or all committees but you can only “Chair” one.  You are in no way obligated to volunteer AND volunteering is always on your terms... do what you can when you can!

Fundraising (May to November) - Plan fundraisers for individual dancer accounts or Dance Team General Fund.

Food (November to March) - Arrange meals, snacks and drinks for competition, Holiday Dance Camp and special events.

Competition Staff (6 competitions) - Help at competitions with meals, hair, make-up, etc.

Hospitality (6 competitions, state and parties) - Help coach recognize TRD and other teams we will be competing against.  Basic idea is to keep dancers motivated as dance team is a long and hard club sport.

Booster Club Liaison (NEW) - Attend NHS Booster Club meetings and schedule dance team parent volunteers to support activities.

Non-Committee Support - just as important:

Be supportive but don’t pressure athlete

Help athlete meet responsibilities to team and coach

Report injuries, doctor visits (regarding injury) or pain

Keep coach informed of academic issues

Keep coach aware of dancer frustration

Remain in spectator area

Respect rehearsals

Keep positive in comments

Cheer

Show interest

Help only when asked

Be respectful of coach decisions

Do not excuse athlete when they should not be excused
