Want to Volunteer?
TVRD is looking for a group of reliable people to volunteer for various positions at our home bouts. Without volunteers, we would be unable to do what we love to do – bout! Volunteers do not skate during bouts. They assist at our home bouts in positions that include scorekeeping, tracking and relaying penalties, keeping track of merchandise, keeping track of attendees at the door, and timing skaters who are in the penalty box.
If you have been coming to our bouts in the past, being a volunteer allows you to be part of TVRD without having to skate. Also, volunteers can come to home bouts for free!
