Over 250 volunteers will once again be needed to adequately staff the big event that tips off at North Central Missouri College in Trenton on Dec. 18 and concludes on Dec. 30, with breaks for the holidays and Sundays.
In making the announcement, Hoops Director Steve Maxey says there is something for every kind of volunteer to do, all while enjoying exciting high school basketball at its best.
Volunteers are needed to serve as team hosts for the 107 teams, and operating game clocks and managing the official scorebook. Additional volunteers are needed to staff the front desk and assist with hospitality and special sales.
Several organizations are getting involved with Holiday Hoops this year by manning the front desk where ticket and program sales are conducted. At this time, representatives from Barnes-Baker Motors, Century 21-Smith and Associates, Farmers Bank of Northern Missouri, Grundy Electric Cooperative, North Central Missouri College, Smithfield Hog Production of Princeton, the Bethany and Princeton Rotary Clubs and Wesley United Methodist Church will greet patrons.
“We simply could not provide the support that this event requires without the involvement of volunteers,” Maxey says. “And one way we can show our appreciation is to provide each volunteer with a complimentary pass to any and all games during the 10 day event,” he added.
Holiday Hoops continues to be the largest school holiday shootout in the state with a record number of teams this year representing 59 Missouri and Iowa Schools.
