How to become  a S.T.A.R. volunteer ?

***FALL STAR POSITIONS HAVE NOW BEEN FILLED*** 

The next opportunity to be a STAR will be during the SPRING 2012 season.
Sign ups for Spring STARS  will open in January 2012.

STARS participate in mainly during our Spring and Fall leagues – We  only chose a certain number  of STARS each season. Some will be returning STARS some will be new. STARS must be able to listen to instruction and show the ability to do what they are instructed to do.

STARS will be considered only after they follow the below instructions.

Each STAR request will then be reviewed by the AYL staff  before a STAR can be considered for a spot.

Only a certain amount of STAR spots are available each season per grade level & age.

S.T.A.R.s must demonstrate the ability to communicate efficiently with Atlanta Youth Lacrosse staff. If you want to be a S.T.A.R. you must personally e-mail Mary Jo Corsetti at: info@ayllax.com and supply the following information:

• Your Full Name
• Grade
• School
• Cellphone Number (optional)

Potential S.T.A.R.s are required to contact Mary Jo personally.

E-mails from parents or guardians requesting that their son or daughter become a S.T.A.R. will not be accepted

E-mail is the primary means of communication between Atlanta Youth Lacrosse Staff and our S.T.A.R.s and we want potential S.T.A.R.s to understand from the beginning that they are responsible for the e-mails they send and receive.

Parent may request to be added to our blast e-mail list by e-mailing Mary Jo so they may receive updates on schedules and dates. Please note that all communication about hours and job availability must be initiated by the S.T.A.R. themselves to Mary Jo.

Expectations and Responsibilities

S.T.A.R.s are expected to show up to work at least ten minutes early to sign in and find out what needs to be done that day. STARS must be able to effective work with other STARS and share/coordinate/work out problems together.

If a S.T.A.R. is scheduled to work for three hours they are expected to work for those three hours. If a S.T.A.R. must leave work for family reasons or any kind of emergency they may leave early but they must inform a staff member. We are responsible for you while you are at our fields and we want to know when you are leaving for your safety.

Have fun! The Atlanta Youth Lacrosse staff prides itself on providing a fun and enjoyable work experience to all of our volunteers. We want our young S.T.A.R.s to enjoy working for us every day that they come out to help.
