Holiday Hoops 2017 is just over a month away and the invitation for volunteers has been issued to support the 13th annual event.
Over 250 volunteers will once again be needed to adequately staff the event that tips off on Dec. 18 and concludes on Dec. 30, 2017 with breaks for the holidays and Sundays. In making the announcement, Hoops Director Steve Maxey said there is something for everyone to do in addition to enjoying exciting high school basketball at its best.
Volunteers are needed to serve as team hosts for the 107 teams and to operate the game clock and manage the official scorebook. In addition, volunteers are needed to staff the front desk, assist with hospitality and special sales. Several organizations and businesses are getting involved with Holiday Hoops this year by manning the front desk where ticket and program sales are conducted.
Maxey says the number of volunteers from all over north Missouri is one more feature that makes High School Holiday Hoops so unique.
“We simply could not provide the support that this event requires without the involvement of volunteers,” Maxey said. “One way we can show our appreciation is to provide each volunteer with a complimentary pass to any and all games during the 10-day event.”
Holiday Hoops continues to be the largest high school holiday shootout in the state with a record number of teams this year representative of 59 Missouri and Iowa high schools.
Persons wishing to become a volunteer should contact Maxey at 660-359-7244 or via email at maxeysteve@gmail. com. Persons may also visit the Holiday Hoops face book page and indicate their desire to become a volunteer.
