VOLUNTEERS

A sincere thank you to all of our parents who have generously put their names forward to volunteer for League 1 - your generosity has made the job of providing names to the Dublin Juvenile Competition Committee so much easier and is most appreciated.

On this occasion I have endeavoured to match volunteer slots with the time that your athlete will be in attendance while also taking into consideration any specific requests where possible – as I am sure you can imagine – this is not a small undertaking.

The day has been split into a morning and afternoon session - please ensure that you arrive as requested and stay for the duration of your session – in some cases this will be to the end of an event or until the next DSD volunteer arrives to take over. Please aim to arrive a little earlier than scheduled and check in with Seamus who will be coordinating volunteers on the day.

Don’t worry if this is your first time volunteering – there will always be an expert on hand to provide guidance for each event!

We would also like to thank our fantastic Coaches who have prepared their athletes so well and will be attending on the day – your commitment and dedication is most appreciated and we look forward to kicking off the 2025 T&F Season!

PARKING

We encourage carpooling as parking is limited in the St Marys Primary School yard and TAC. Additional Car Parking can be found in nearby industrial estates off the Airton Road which is only a short walk from the venue.

Note that Gardai have advised that cars parked illegally on cycle and foot paths will be fined.

Please be advised, the timetable is subject to change without notice, events could be earlier or later than the scheduled time.

Please remember that all officials are volunteers and to respect their requests and direction during the Championships.
