Age Class - Volunteer Callout, Spectator Tickets, and Parking Information

The Western Age Class is just around the corner! Here are some friendly notices:

Volunteer at the Age Class

We need your help at the 2024 Western Canada Age Class! We encourage athletes, parents, managers, chaperones - and anyone in the wrestling community to get involved. If interested, we would love to have you join our team! If you are a student and/or need proof of volunteer recognition - we are also happy to provide reference letters/volunteer confirmation!

Why Should I Volunteer?

Wrestling is a sport that requires help both on and off the mats. Our volunteers play an integral part in ensuring our sport continues to expand, grow, and thrive. We are very grateful for their time, talents, passion and commitment. In return, we provide our volunteers with opportunities to develop skills, expand networking connections and create experiences that will stay with them forever.

We Currently Need Volunteers to Help with:

• Event set up (setting up tables, flyers/banners, score clocks, etc.)

• Participant Check-In and Coach Accreditation (checking in registered participants and handing out lanyards)

• Spectator Registration

• Event Tear down (Clean-up)

• Medical (athlete skin checks during weigh in, first aid, etc.)

• Officiating (score keepers, bout runners, draw-masters assistance)

And many other tasks!

REMINDER: if dropping off, please use the designated drop-off/pick-up zone on River Road in front of the Oval (no stopping/parking/waiting on Oval Way, or in the area of the Accessible Parking Stalls commonly required for our paralympic events/training and others with accessibility needs).
