We need your help!
Our junior players need you to volunteer to help work the draw desk at our tournaments.
Just a few hours of your time will go a long way to ensuring the tournaments run smoothly and on time.
Yes, I am willing to help out working a Draw Desk at junior tournaments!
To make it easier for you, we've arranged a short training session that gives you all information you'll need to help out at the draw desk.
Every contribution of time - whether big or small - is greatly appreciated. Connection to a junior athlete is not required!
