Role & Responsibilities
A complete list of duties and expectations are outlined in the Team BC Handbook.
Successful applicants will work with Team BC and will be expected to be available for the duration of the event. Prior to the event, required tasks include but are not limited to assisting with arranging/obtaining uniforms for the athletes and coaches, maintaining a line of communication between GymBC, the manager, chaperones, clubs, coaches, athletes and parents and attending the team preparation camp.
Expenses such as transportation, accommodation, meals and registration will be covered by GymBC and a Team BC T-shirt package will be provided. Additional Team BC uniform pieces may be purchased.
During the event, the managers, chaperones and coaches must work together in a manner that supports the optimal performance of the athletes. Manager and chaperones are expected to be available 24/7 as athletes can get sick in the middle of the night, etc.
Applicants must be able to sustain a moderate level of physical activity as there may be a lot of walking involved between the different venues. The applicants must also be aware that their first and foremost responsibility is to the athletes they are chaperoning, and there is a real possibility that they may not be able to watch their child/athlete compete in all events due to their staff duties. However, every effort will be made by the staffing team for you to be able to watch your child/athlete compete.
