Osseo Maple Grove Basketball Association

Many positions don't require basketball knowledge and many don't require membership on the board. Some of the positions have historically been done by one person, but could be split up into 2 or 3 positions if you only are interested in one aspect of a position.

Our volunteers help with coaching, scheduling practices, games, and referees, as well as organizing tournaments, supervising tournament sites, concessions, and clinics. A volunteer places orders for all the uniforms, awards, and equipment and another handles our insurance. Even this web page is maintained by a board member.

We especially need help from our Traveling Team Parents for the boys and girls tournaments we host each November. All traveling player's parents are expected to help. Some areas we need help are running the scorebook, the time clock, concessions, the gate, site supervisor, and more. We've got multiple locations to staff over a Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, so we need lots of volunteers. Your help is appreciated.

Running a community basketball organization serving over 2000 kids each year is a lot of work made easier by lots of volunteers, but we really could use more help.

If you can step up and help out the kids, even just for a few hours, please contact the OMGBA President for more information, or attend an OMGBA Board Meeting which are held the 3rd Monday of every month (except July - no meeting) at the Maple Grove Community Center (except June - we meet offsite) at 7:00p.m.

Concessions Manager(s) -  No basketball experience required. This position does not require being a board member, nor attending every board meeting. Email president@omgba.net for more info.

• This year's team did an excellent job and will be around to help guide next year. They've documented everything, so a smooth transition to someone new couldn't be easier. This task involves ordering the food, picking it up, getting our supplies from storage, delivering to the various sites, setting up, taking it down, and returning leftovers for the two traveling tournaments we hold in November before Thanksgiving.
• Each duty could be divided and conquered by multiple volunteers. It is very well organized, and each traveling team is responsible for volunteering to run the concessions, so you don't have that responsibility. Those "volunteers" help setup each day, and take down and clean up at the end.

Gaming Manager - No basketball experience required. This position DOES require being a board member. It is an important fund raiser for OMGBA in order so that ultimately we can afford our own facility. We have one gaming site presently, and have an accountant do much of the taxes, forms, etc. Email president@omgba.net for more info.
