Families that fail to comply will result in the skater(s) ineligible to skate for any remaining practices, games or tournaments, including playdowns and state starting February 1, 2025 until the service hour requirements are satisfied. If at any time, after February 1, 2025 you fall below the required service hours your skater will be immediately ineligible to skate.
*Each family is required to utilize the DIBS system to sign up for their service hours. In order to receive credit for your service hours, you must sign up via DIBS and use the SportsEngine profile of one of your skaters. Overlapping shifts are not allowed, if you'd like to double up shift, you'll need to notate the additional person(s) that will be working.

All no show payments must be paid within 7 days or your skater is ineligible until the fee is paid. Your obligation is to the concession stand, checking up on the score of a game is okay, watching a game is not.
*The DIBS system allows members up to 14 days prior to cancel out of a DIBS session.
*You must sign in at the time of your DIBS session or you will not be provided credit for those hours.
*SPAYHA members must be 13+, and trained by Jen Melville or Kelli Pavelski, to receive credit for DIBS sessions.
Teens (13-18 years) may only claim dibs hours classified as “Concessions (Teen or Adult)”.
No credit will be given for any teen who worked a “Concessions (Adult)” shift. No exceptions!
Volunteer assistance is pivotal to ensure our skater fees remain low. Each travel team will have DIBS posted for 14 home games. Any games past those 14 (referred to as bonus games), or games in which there are no DIBS claimed, is the responsibility of that team to open and staff concessions for before, after and during the game. All teams do have tasks assigned during the season which do not count for each family’s contribution that are essential to a successful season. Those include, but are not limited to:
**Teams who host a jamboree or tournament, including state, are responsible for all jamboree/tournament duties. These hours do not count towards your family’s service hour obligations for our association.
**Teams who choose to not open concessions when no DIBS are claimed, or for any bonus games awarded, will not be eligible for any future bonus games for the remainder of the season. If bonus games are scheduled, they will be cancelled.
While we need each and every family’s assistance in working DIBS, we understand every family unit has their own needs. Should you wish to hire someone to work your service hours, please contact Heather McKnight (gothnagel@gmail.com) for any questions and the list of trained, and approved, concessions workers.
All hours worked for another family need to be signed up under the skater profile of the family in which the hours need to be credited towards. We do not allow the transfer of completed/earned service hour credits.
