- Innovation Fair
- Attend a few specific sessions at the Championship Conference
- watch matches (which can be accomplished while doing field reset)
- probably see a few sights
If we could do it for one day, that would be ideal, but maybe we need to sign up for safety glasses or something else with a one-day commitment.
Any other one-day items for teens? I've checked the list:

and it's not obvious which other ones are or are not (for teens), in most cases.
Also, are the shifts basically the entire day? (For instance, could one leave one's post for an hour or so to attend a conference session -- with approval of their lead volunteer, of course -- and come back?) I am just trying to put together an itinerary, and am not sure what to expect. Thanks! |
I can't speak for Championships for sure, but generally lead volunteers are very accomodating for things like Field Reset, where there are often a surplus of bodies on the field anyway. This weekend I've needed to leave 10K Lakes Regional several times to attend class, and it's never been an issue, as I made sure to talk with our field supervisor ahead of time.
Field reset is a great time, especially if you like watching matches-- I'd definitely recommend it.
