Durham Firebirds Football & Cheer

Volunteering



Volunteering is essential to running a football and cheer program.
Home games simply cannot happen without everyone donating a few hours during the season.
Our dedicated coaches and administrators need your help to make it the best season possible for the players.
 
Home Game Volunteer Positions (four home games in the season)

Chain Crew (3 per game)

    Requirements: at least 13 years old
    Description: Standing down on the sidelines using the down and distance markers. Basic knowledge of football is helpful but not necessary. The referee informs you of exactly what to do and where to go throughout the game. It is the most "physical" of all the volunteer jobs as you will be instructed to move up and down the field but it is not stressful.

Scoreboard Operator (1 per game)
    Requirements: at least 18 years old
    Description: Runs the scoreboard during home games and helps the announcer with players and numbers. May sound kind of scary but it isn't. Simply watch the official and he will inform you of exactly when to start and stop the clock (just pushing a button) and putting the scores up on the board are as simple as pushing some buttons as well.

Announcer (1 per game)
    Requirements:
at least 18 years, comfortable with public speaking, good working knowledge of the game of football.
    Description: Uses the sound system during home games to announce teams, call the game and advertise our sponsors on a regular basis.

Spotter (if needed) (1 per game)
    Requirements:
at least 13 years old
    Description: 
Sits up in the press box and helps the announcer with players and numbers. Basically tell the announcer what number ran the ball, caught the ball, or made the tackle. It's that simple (but for some reason people always seem nervous to volunteer for this one).

Gate Keeper (maintain 2-3 throughout the game day)
    Requirements: 
MUST BE THE PARENT/GUARDIAN OF A PLAYER
    Description: 
Sits by the front gate and collects money for admission.

Concessions Crew (maintain 3-4 throughout the game day)
    Requirements: at least 13 years old / at least 18 years old to handle money
    Description: Help to set up concessions before the games, sell concessions during games, or clean up after the games.
