Your main goals as a volunteer will be two things:
- Make sure the clients are having  FUN by socializing with them and cheering them on.
- Help staff with set up, break down and other tasks as requested. 
- It is IMPORTANT for volunteers to keep the FOCUS on the clients at all times: please do not take out your cellphone at any time. Spend time with the clients, please do not hang out with other volunteers and chat.
