Team Level Representative Responsibilities
- Attend all board meetings, pass on information to team parents, and bring concerns of the parents to the attention of the board. It is very important to attend all scheduled meetings so that you can keep your team informed about issues that concern them. If you cannot attend a meeting, notify the President or the 1st VP as far in advance as possible.
- Keep parents informed of fund-raisers and other activities within the club. During the course of the year there will be many opportunities to take part in Booster Club activities. You will make sure that your team members are aware of these activities.
- Assist the AAK competition coordinator and coaches in distributing meet information. Keep parents informed on meet dates and any changes. The competition coordinator will arrange hotel accommodations, maps, and other pertinent information for coaches. The Level Rep should assist in any way possible, report your team’s results and information at the board meetings. Each Level Rep should be ready to relay their team’s progress at the meeting.
- Assist the banquet committee in keeping scores during the year for the end of the year trophy.
- Remind parents of specific “due dates”. There are various dates throughout the year when payments from members are due. The level rep will work with the Treasurer and Bookkeeper to maintain these fee payments.
- Welcome New gymnasts and their families. You are often the first contact that a new member has with the Booster Club. Level Reps should try to make new members feel welcome and meet periodically with your team’s Head Coach.
- Make sure that you keep your coaches aware of social gathering, special activities, special trips, banquets, and parent concerns is a major responsibility. Ask the Coach if he/she has any concerns that need to be addresed. Rsecognize the coaches’ birthdays and other special occasions. It is your responsibility to organize team gifts for your level, and/or coordinate with other reps/parents to make special arrangements. Our coaches work very hard for our children…it is impotrant that their efforts are recognized.
