Volunteer at the 2013 Sea Lion Bowl!

The Northern California Sea Lion Bowl is taking place one month from today at San Francisco State University!

There is still time to sign up to volunteer! 

Why volunteer? You will be inspired by the academic excellence and ocean science knowledge of amazing young people, feel great about helping to ensure an exciting and inspirational experience for these potential future scientists, get to work with other ocean science enthusiasts and professionals, and get your very own Sea Lion Bowl T-Shirt!

The time commitment is relatively short: it includes a training session (half day, meal provided) and the day of the competition (Saturday, February 9th- breakfast, lunch and dinner provided).

All volunteers must plan to attend at least one training session, ideally including a team practice, to get the best feel for the actual competition

Last Saturday Training and Scrimmage Date:

February 2, 2013 from 10am-3pm at SF State’s Romberg Tiburon Center (RTC)

Evening Trainings (no scrimmage):

Thursday, January 31, 2013 from 6pm-9pm at RTC

*JUST ADDED*: Wednesday, February 6, 2013 from 6pm-9pm at SFSU

There will be two more scrimmages next year: January 19th at SFSU and Feb 2 at RTC (may change to another Marin County location).

So please don’t wait until the last scrimmage to participate!! Come to as many as possible so you can best benefit from the Sea Lion Bowl experience!

If you haven’t done so already, please go to the Scrimmage Sign Up Form and let us know when you can attend and how many students will be coming!

 

We are still in the process of selecting teams for the JV League and will notify everyone once a decision is made!

Deadline to Submit Team Registration Paperwork is November 15, 2012!

The deadline for all signed registration paperwork is 11/15.

The paperwork must be received (or at least postmarked) by the deadline. It can also be faxed to 415-338-0572 or scanned and emailed to sealionbowl@gmail.com.

The mailing address is:    Sea Lion Bowl c/o CSME, 1600 Holloway Ave. Science 211, San Francisco CA 94132

For the Varsity League, the first 16 teams who submit a COMPLETE set of signed paperwork will be the ones allowed to compete. For example, if we receive a B Team’s registration paperwork postmarked on the 15th and an A Team’s from a different school postmarked on the 17th, we will give priority to the B team. The same would occur if we receive 2 sets of paperwork postmarked at the same time but the A team’s paperwork is incomplete and the other team’s isn’t.

As for the JV League, the first 8 diversity teams who submit their paperwork by the deadline will get to compete.

Coaches: You can find the set of 4 forms here. Make sure that every form is completed and signed. To be considered complete, you need to submit the school forms, coach forms, at least 4 signed student forms and make sure every student and coach has a signed set of SFSU Release of Liability forms.

It is OK for team members or coaches to be changed after this deadline. Submit the changes at this link: SLB Team Registration Changes. And follow up by mailing the corresponding signed forms ASAP.
