28.0 Working in the ABC Concession Stand<br />
28.1 As a parent of an FIS athlete you are required to work in the ABC concession<br />
stand<br />
when your son/daughter’s team are assigned to work a ‘shift’ in the concession stand.<br />
This is normally one or two weekends during the season. The concession work<br />
schedules are planned in advance and parents receive information showing the dates<br />
on which the team parents assist with the concession stand.<br />
28.2 At the beginning of the week when your son/daughter’s team is assigned to work<br />
in the concession stand you will receive an email with a link to the ‘volunteer spot’. This<br />
link will take you to a sign-up sheet where you can write yourself in for the time slot that<br />
suits you best.<br />
28.3 All families NOT signed up by the Wednesday prior to the event will be assigned<br />
a time slot. If the time slot does not suit your planning, you are responsible for finding an<br />
exchange or replacement.<br />

season home games which is typically a one night hosting commitment on Friday night.<br />
29.2 The <strong>Athletic</strong> Booster Club housing committee organizes all housing of visiting<br />
athlete for end of season tournaments hosted by FIS which is typically a two or three<br />
night housing commitment either Wednesday – Saturday or Thursday – Saturday.<br />
29.3 A condition of your son/daughter’s participation on an FIS athletic team is the<br />
hosting of visiting athletes for weekend games and during home tournament events.<br />
29.4 Housing is an excellent opportunity for athletes and their families to develop<br />
friendships with the athletes and families in other international schools and countries.<br />
FIS families are reminded that this is a reciprocal arrangement among the international<br />
schools, and the success of the weekend sport exchanges and end of season<br />
tournaments depends greatly upon the cooperation, participation and involvement of all<br />
concerned<br />
