DIBS / Fundraising / Team Responsibilities

Opportunities for DIBS / Fundraising / Team Responsibilities may change as the year progresses. With SAYHA being the primary lease holder of the Spooner Civic Center building, it takes all of us to make it run....smooth, clean and in a respectful manner.

DIBs and fundraising go hand in hand, and are a requirement as a registered skater of Spooner Area Youth Hockey. Both are necessary for the association to keep the civic center up and running and to help continue to keep our registration costs low.

DIBs - required volunteer hours to execute fundraising events, games, Civic Center day to day operations, etc. Some DIBS are signed up for on the website, some are reported to team managers/DIBS coordinator for manual entering. Your Crossbar account (on the website, not the app) tracks DIBS required and completed.

Fundraising - raffles, sales, etc that bring direct cash flow to SAYHA

You do have the option to buy out of DIBs/Fundraising when you register for $1000 (Or $500 for just DIBs or $500 for just Fundraising).

You have one year to complete these requirements starting 9/1 and ending 8/31.

If you do not complete your DIBs requirement in the timeframe of 9/1 to 8/31 of the current season registered, you will be required to pay SAYHA back at a rate of $50 per incomplete hour.

If fundraising minimums are not met, you would be expected to pay SAYHA what SAYHA would have profited from your minimum sales requirement. (Soup sales payback =30% of missing sales; Sportsmen Raffle =$15/book; Cash Raffle = $25/ticket not sold)

Team Responsibilities

Team responsibilities are different than DIBs/Fundraising. Team responsibilities include all the jobs necessary to run home games and tournaments. These responsibilities include time clock, score sheet, music/announcing, concessions, Zamboni driver (must be trained), penalty box, locker room monitor (must have safe sport and background through USA hockey), set up and clean up, and any other task needed to run the rink during games. First team of the day opens/sets up the rink, last team of the day is responsible for clean up/closing of the rink.

Tournaments are especially important for everyone helping. Each team that has a home tournament will have to be at the rink long hours and is expected to help throughout each day.

Team responsibilities are signed up on the Crossbar App.
