Dear Ventura Tigres Volunteers,
Thank you all for your help with our Tigres practice meet last Saturday!Our new volunteer check in website, RunFaster, really helped us track everyone’s volunteer shifts on Saturday. I wanted to take a moment to clarify a few things about the RunFaster website to help you all use it for our future home meets. Remember all families must complete four volunteer shifts to earn priority registration status for next season.
Managing Your Tigres Volunteer Shifts on RunFaster — See video linked here.
- You must confirm your shift for each of our Tigres home meets. A reminder will come to you by email or text the week prior to the meet.
- When you log into your account on RunFaster please add any individuals who will be able to act as alternate volunteers for your account. Substitute volunteers must be 18 years of age or older. If you know who is volunteering that week please confirm your shift then change the volunteer to the correct person.
- If you are the individual who signed up and someone else is going to be the primary volunteer, please reassign that volunteer as primary in your profile on RunFaster. Going forward all shifts will be assigned to the new primary.
Making up missed volunteer shifts
- If you need to make up a shift, please look on the Open Shift page on RunFaster.
- If you want to double shift (work two shifts to cover the whole meet) or want another of your volunteers to work at the same time, then let the manager listed at the bottom of the open shift know and they will put the volunteer in and confirm the shift.
- You may only drop your shift for another shift if there are extenuating circumstances. Please contact the manager listed to make arrangements.
Checking in and out at home meets
- When you arrive at your volunteer location you must check in to get credit for your shift!
- Log on to RunFaster and click the “Check in” button. Please allow the system about a minute to catch up. It doesn’t always register right away and if you click a second time it may check you out, so please just click it once. Thank you.
- Please check in when you get your prompt either by email or text, then make sure you check in at the Volunteer Tent (near the entrance to the track) to get your badge to be allowed on the field.
- If you still have your badge from last week please turn it in at this Saturday’s meet.
- When your shift is over please give the badge to the PM shift volunteer taking over your duties or if you are a PM shift volunteer, please return it to the volunteer tent. Please remember to check out with the coordinator listed on your shift. We will confirm your shift so you get credit. The coordinators for each area are listed below:
- Staging, 4×100 relay/hurdles, and Data entry — Jared Kuebler.
- Finish Line — Jorge DeLeon
- Field Setup — Justin Quan
- Apparel — Lisa Baier
- All other areas report to — Jeremy Patelzick or volunteer coordinator at the volunteer tent
Thank you for everything you do to help us run our home meets smoothly. If you have additional questions on your volunteer responsibilities, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator Jeremy Patelzick at thekidddds@gmail.com
Go Tigres!
