Attached is the Family Participation Policy put in place to promote full participation by BEST families as we assist our athletes and coaches to build a great swim club. The policy is consistent with the mission of BEST:
"...to provide opportunity and encouragement for each of its swimmers to fully develop his or her potential in competitive swimming. The value of this mission is derived from the gradual acquisition of life enhanding attributes such as integrity, commitment, teamwork and sportsmanship which are fundamental to the pursuit of personal excellence and the precess of striving to "Be the Best That You Can Be."
For most BEST families, the policy is simply a mechanism to document the volunteer service we have traditionally provided. In addition, the policy will make it easier for new families to join the BEST tradition of volunteer service. The policy outlines the following:
Families with one or more swimmers on the Gold, Silver, Bronze, Blue, Red or White groups have a participation goal of 300 points per family accrued from Sept. 1, 2007 through August 31, 2008.
Families with swimmers in the Rising Stars and Starfish groups have a participation goal of 150 points per family accrued from September 1, 2007 through August 31, 2008.
Families can meet their participation goals through volunteer service at BEST swim meets, activities, and events, as well as high school swim meets held at the Brophy Sports Campus.
Half service points can be obtained by volunteering at BEST away swim meets.
Volunteer service activities include: swim officiating and administration, BEST facility support (snack bar, team shop, etc.), BEST team support (team parent, chaperone, etc.) and other activities as noted in the polilcy.
Sign up for volunteer service in the Brophy Sports Campus office.
The intent is to achieve full participation by BEST families. Accommodations will be made for those families that have circumstances preventing them from reaching the full service goal.
This policy is posted on the BEST website and is available in the office. For those who have provided volunteer service since September 1st, please document those hours in the office so that it can be credited toward your sercie goal. A sign up book is available in the office to make it easier to document your volunteer hours.
If you have any questions regarding the Family Participation Policy please contact the office.
