About the role:
Volunteers will assist with all tasks pertaining to bocce competition. Volunteers will officiate games, keep score, answer team member and coach questions, ensure teams are present and ready when it is their competition time, assist in bringing scores to the awards podium, reset courts after competitions are over and ensure the bocce competition runs smoothly. After the Bocce Tournament has concluded volunteers will help to clean up the Bocce area and courts (courts are made of plastic rain gutters and very light). There will be Special Olympics representative available at bocce to answer any questions and give direction to all volunteers.
