Volunteers Needed for the 2003 State Games of America
What does it
take to host an event like the State Games of America? It takes, of course, the VOLUNTEER! The volunteer is the cornerstone
to the success of the State Games of America and the state games movement.
The State Games
of America would not be able to operate efficiently without the services of hundreds of volunteers that graciously give up
their time and energy to help run a first class event. The 2003 State Games of America need the assistance of volunteers to
help run our event.
Volunteers range
from officials, coaches, site directors, game administrators, and our Head Quarters Staff. Volunteers can pick the area /
sport they would like to be involved with. No previous training is required, except for contest officials. Volunteers who
devote three hours or more of their time will receive a State Games of America t-shirt. In addition, you’ll receive
the satisfaction of knowing you were an integral part of making the State Games of America a success! To volunteer please
