Volunteer

We need all of the standard volunteers!  While we try to look locally, any help you or your teams can provide is appreciated!  Please contact Dave Sartory at [email protected] if you have students or family members looking to help out!

Emergency/Bad Weather Policy

The venue is well-equipped for poor weather.  In the event of heavy rain, please remember to bring tarps or covers to keep your gear dry while loading in. Once inside, there will be no need to go outside again until the event concludes.  There is a large circular driveway at the main gym doors for easy load-in.

Refund and Payment Policies

No refunds will be offered unless the event is completely cancelled by Fryeburg Academy. We will do our very best to help with any changes in plans, however, so please contact us with any concerns or questions.

Health and Safety Policies

Fryeburg Academy is now a mask-optional campus.  Students are encouraged to arrive however they are most comfortable.  We do ask that anyone who is sick with a respiratory illness of any kind considers wearing a mask out of courtesy to your pit neighbors and alliance partners.  We will have a limited supply of masks available if anyone would like one.
