10 STEPS TO BECOMING A TEAM CAPTAINWhat is a team captain?A team captain is part organizer, part cheerleader. A team captain is someone who likes to get things done and is willing to recruit others to help.
As well, you become a part of TRCC history as we celebrate our 30th Anniversary and reach our goal of $100,000. Of course we will heap lavish praise upon you and thank you repeatedly! How do I get started?In this website you will find:
What does a team captain do?STEP 1: Organize other people (friends, family, co-workers, neighbours) into a bowling team for a total of 4-6 players (we suggest 5 bowlers). No previous bowling experience is necessary, nor do players have to be good bowlers. STEP 2: Make sure all team members have a pledge form and a postcard. Each bowler will canvas their network of family, friends, etc. to collect pledges to bowl. The pledges are a flat fee, not a per pin amount. Tax receipts will only be issued:
STEP 3: Adult team members are asked to raise a minimum of $100 in pledges to cover their costs. Kids are asked to raise a minimum of $25, students age 12 and up, $50. Reassure everyone on the team that if they can collect an average of $10 from 18 people they will have raised $180, which will allow us to reach our goal of $100,000. Bowlers who raise more than $150 qualify for great prizes.
STEP 5: Decide when you want to bowl. The first shift begins at l pm. The 2nd shift starts at 4 pm, 3rd shift at 7pm. Both afternoon shifts offer 5 pin bowling on one side and 10 pin bowling on the other side. The evening shift features 10 pin only. STEP 6: Choose a team name - the lane will be booked under whatever name you decide upon. Be daring, quirky, or not; it's your choice! STEP 7: Let us know by February 14/04, the name of your team, who your team members are, when you wish to bowl, what type of bowling. The earlier you confirm, the more choices you will have. STEP 8: Call your team members prior to the event and arrange to meet them 15-30 minutes before you are scheduled to bowl. Encourage members to meet the $100 minimum (this is where the cheerleading comes in!) and remind them to bring the money to the Bowlathon. Cheques can be made payable to the TRCC/MWAR or our full name. STEP 9: When you meet your team at the bowling alley, please ensure that the amounts on the pledge form match the total amount of cash/cheques you are submitting. Then collect their pledge forms and money and bring it to the registration desk. STEP 10: Lead your team members to get their shoes and find your lane. Put on your shoes, pick up your bowling ball and celebrate! Your job is done! Thank you!
