Coon Rapids Youth Hockey Association

CRYHA utilizes the DIBS system to run our volunteer opportunities. All volunteer opportunities will be listed here.  To get started, please do the following:

STEP 1:     You must use the same user name and password that was used to register your skater on-line. 

If a board member assisted you during registration, you should have received an email to claim your child*.  You must claim your child first before you will be able to view any Dib items.

* Only one skater per family will be able to sign up for duties. For example, if a family has registered three kids, only one will be listed (the oldest) to sign up for duties.  Not all kids will be listed.

NOTE:  Open opportunities will be visible only if you registered a player.  If you are a parent who has created an account but does not have a player registered under your account yet you would still like to perform volunteer hours, please contact Lori Clouse (clouselori@yahoo.com) for access.

Every family must volunteer six hours of their time to the Association.   This includes all new Mite/Skater families.   Association Hours can be used for Registration, Tryouts, Tournaments, and other activities that assist the Association in running the CRYHA Hockey program as a whole.   Please check the website frequently for volunteer opportunities in the Dibs system.

You will still be required to assist your child's team throughout the season and those needs will be defined by your team's Manager and Coaches.   Team hours do not count towards your volunteer requirement.

You will be required to write a check to the Association during Registration posted dated March 1st, 2012.  Once you have fulfilled your 6 Association Hours, that check will shredded or mailed to you if you've provided a self addressed stamped envelope.  Should you not fulfill those hours by March 1st, 2012 or have an outstanding balance with CRYHA , your check will be cashed.  There will be no exceptions to this timeline as it causes a hardship on the Association's budget.

PLEASE NOTE:  It is not the responsibility of the CRYHA Board to keep track of your total volunteer hours through the Dibs program.  That is the responsibility of each family.  Any additional hours of your time and talent are appreciated but cannot be donated to other families.

Wondering if your check is going to be cashed?  If your on-line account shows 6 or more credits completed, your check will be shredded unless you dropped off a stamped, self addressed envelope for us to mail it back to you.  If your hours are anything less than 6, your check will be cashed April 1st, BUT, not before a phone call is placed to you to validate the hours in your account.   Please email me if your account is not showing 6 hours and you believe it should.  Tell me what you did for your hours, what date you worked for each of the hours, and your skater's name.   (I can only find accounts by skaters' names not by parent names.)

Please remember ONLY Association hours count towards your 6 hour requirement.  If you worked the bench or book for your team, those hours DO NOT count and your check will be cashed (after a call is placed to you on or before March 1st).
