The High School competition needs your help! Please consider getting certified in SafeSport and volunteering as a monitor. Having monitors outside the locker rooms is necessary so that competitors can use the locker rooms. It is easy and a fun way to be involved! If you have any questions or need more info on getting Safe Sport trained and background checked, please reach out to Brooke Mitro: brook46717@gmail.com.
You can sign up to volunteer by clicking here.
