Homer Stallions

 The hours for this season can not be made until we know when we will be at home for games and when we will be away for games. Every weekend from August 25th through November playoffs will have games. We just need to find out which are ours at home before we can set-up dibs items.

Remember for 2012 Participation hours, you must work 4 hours in the concession stand to get your participation hours completed. We are always thankfull for those who help with extra time, but we need the time in the concession stand. Without the required concessions time, we always have problems with getting people to work in the concession stand. 

Updated May 12, 2012

Who can complete my participation hours? Only adults can complete your participation hours. You can not have your kids work for you. This is for parent participation. Each family needs eight hours of participation time so there is a 8 hour limit of what can be selected. Yes, you need the full eight hours. It would not be fair to other families if you only work 7, but get credit for 8 hours.

 “Dibs” is a new tool we use to identify, and show what is available to be worked for your participation hours. Items in the Dibs tab can be selected and then accepted for you to work. When these items are done, they will need to be verified and marked as “completed”. This should take no longer then a week. Your profile will then show how many hours you worked and you can see what it was.

 All participation hours – All items for hours are on a first come basis. Verify you understand what is required for each item when working your hours. We can’t have kids running around while you are working your hours. You will need to find someone to watch them while working your hours or you will be asked to leave. There is not enough room for your kids to be in and out of concessions and they can get hurt. After you accept an item, you will get an email reminder the day before assuming you chose emails in your settings. Any items you work, will have to be verified before you will be credited for the time. This should be done with-in a week. We do not ask you to do anything we have not done ourselves.

 All Concession participation time – When working in the concession stand, we have no room to have your kids with you. Make arrangements to have someone else watch your children while you are working your hours. Children are not going to be allowed in the concession stand for both Health and safety reasons. If your children are going to the stand and you need to care for them you will need to leave and not finish your hours. The hours for the stand are done in blocks of 4 hours. Please make sure you know when they are playing when you schedule the work times since you may miss there games. If games are not on time, you will still have to work your time selected in the concession stand. There are also lists in the front and back of what needs to be done. We are not a baby-sitting service and expect you to act like adults and finish what needs to be done without someone checking up after you leave. If the bathrooms are not done, your time will not be credited. All items for hours are on a first come basis. We do not ask you to do anything we have not done ourselves.

 Just register? If you just registered you will not see your hours yet. You have to be added to the group and then have your hours added manually. Once that is done, your hours will be seen on your profile. 

How many hours do I have? Once you have been added to the group and your hours are added if you are new, you can view your hours by selecting on your name in the upper left and then selecting "Dibs".

 Item - Concessions Front – Working the front of the concession stand includes all of the following but does not limit what will be asked to be done. Front counter taking orders and making what is ordered. Stock all pop, candy, chips, ice-cream, condiments and anything else that is kept in the front area from the back freezer and stockroom cooler. Replacing any pop you remove from the back stockroom cooler with warm pop to cool. All dishes from the front must be finished before you are done and sink left empty when you leave. After starting and before halfway through the time you are there you will clean the bathrooms and stock any needed paper products. Failure to do so will result in your being sent home without the completed hours. If sent home you will not be allowed to work in the concession stand for hours again and will lose your participation time.
We do not ask you to do anything we have not done ourselves.

Item - Concessions back – Working the back of the concession stand includes all of the following but does not limit what will be asked to be done. Taking food orders and filling them, cooking on the grill any food that needs to be cooked, preparing buns and pizza to be sold, stocking all pop in the back coolers to be sold cold. Replacing any pop you remove from the back stockroom cooler with warm pop to cool. People in the back will also be given times when they need to walk around and clean up garbage on the sidelines. This may be two or three at once or just one person. At times guys will also be asked to empty the blue barrels that are out on the field. This may include removing the bags to the dumpster with a golf cart. Other times people will be given a area to watch and direct people to the back parking lot.
We do not ask you to do anything we have not done ourselves.

 Item - Weekday concessions – Same as concessions front, but bathrooms are done when closing up. Weekday concessions will run between 5:30 and 7:45. This will allow time for the bathrooms to be done at the end and if you were busy, you may stay until 8:00. All hours would be changed to show the extra time. This item for hours may be removed...

  Item - Field painting – When you are out doing the fields you can’t have your kids running around because of the new paint on the fields. Please be sure someone else is watching your children. Field painting consists of walking the striper machine, bouncing lines for the striper to follow, field numbers and stencils. Everything to get the field painted for the games. Be sure to wear clothes and shoes that will get paint on them. No matter how you try, if you are helping you get paint on the clothes. If you are not helping, you will be asked to leave without your hours being finished.
We do not ask you to do anything we have not done ourselves.

Item - Chain Gang - Working the chain gang at the kids game during your kids scheduled game. The time shown will be scheduled for your childs games start time and scheduled for one hour. Your shift will be for the full time of the game including any overtime, timeouts, injuries or anything else until the game is over. Each chain gang time done will count for one hour. You can ONLY work during your childs games and not during another game. We are testing this being done for hours and may have to remove it if there are problems with people selecting games and times. Make sure your coach knows who you are when working the chains for hours since they verify who was there. Since this will only be for scheduled regular games, you are asked to also do any pick-up games your team has during the week. With only four games at home this year, you still need hours another way also to get in your full participation time. If you do pick-up games during the week, sign-on the website and verify the coach sent an email letting us know you worked the chains. We can then add the time to your profile on the website for the hour completed. This item for hours may be removed...

Item - Cookie Dough Pick-up - Cookie dough pick-up is one of the busiest times for us after concessions. The truck will get to the Blue shed and we will then have to unload, stack, sort and verify all the cookie dough first. The dough does come on pallets off the truck. Picking the dough orders begins with the large orders so they are pulled asside and ready for pick-up. Then all orders are gone through as parents come to get the cookie dough and if needed, helped to load their cars. You are expected to stay for the full time you select or hours will be forfeited. A set number of slots will be available for workers and more will be added if needed. You can NOT have your kids with you when you are working cookie dough. If so, you will be asked to leave without completeing your hours and your time would be forfeited. There is not enough room and they can get hurt to easy.

Item - Dance chaperone -  Chaperones are at the dance to watch over what is going on. Chaparones will be given a main area they will be in including the bathrooms, concessions, main floor or dance area. Main things to keep an eye on is the kids not doing anything you would not want your son or daughter to do. Also be sure they are not doing anything to damage the facilities or anything that can hurt themselves. All kids entering the dance are charged entry.  This is an item that has been used, but this may not be used this year.
