Concession Stand Volunteer Sign Up

Register, grill, and restock shifts for every game

Concession stands fund uniforms, travel, and equipment, but only if every home game has enough volunteers. A sign-up sheet lists each shift for each game, parents claim the ones that fit, and reminders go out automatically, so the booster president is not texting people at 7 a.m. on game day.

Keep concessions staffed every game

  • Every role for every game is a separate, visible slot
  • Grill and register are split so people pick what they are comfortable with
  • When someone cannot make it, the organizer frees the slot and it shows as open again
  • Export the list for the treasurer and for volunteer-hour requirements

Concession stand roles

Typical volunteer slots:

  • Cash register (1st half)
  • Cash register (2nd half)
  • Grill and nacho station
  • Inventory restock before game
  • Closing cleanup and cash count
  • Supply run mid-season

Sample shift plan for one home game

A varsity football or basketball home game usually needs 8–10 volunteer slots. Copy this structure:

Clear, named shifts make it easy for parents to say yes.

Parents are much more likely to take a named two-hour shift they can see and pick than to answer "we need help at the stand." Posting every shift for the whole season on day one also lets families plan around away games and siblings' schedules.
