If you are interested in participating in Volunteer Evaluations to become a performing volunteer we recommend that you attend at least one clinic prior to evaluations. If you are not able to attend Evaluation Day on September 11th you can work with our coaching staff to plan an individual evaluation at the end of an earlier clinic.

 

Evaluation day is NOT REQUIRED. We encourage everyone to come experience one or more clinic days and then decide if you'd like to continue with evaluations.
