DPSEF Volunteer Policy
2023-2024 Season
Volunteer support is critical to the successful operation of the Diamond Peak Ski Team(DPST).
The DPST program registration process requires a volunteer deposit. The DPSEF Volunteer
Policy provides details on how families can earn back the volunteer deposit.
The Diamond Ski Team volunteer deposit is $250 per athlete (10 credits) for all programs.
Volunteer requirements are per athlete. For families with multiple skiers in the program, we are
capping the volunteer requirement at two skiers per family ($500 or 20 credits). The cash
equivalent value per credit earned is $25.
DPST uses an online tracking system to administrate the volunteer program. We will provide
families a mechanism to sign up for volunteer activities and shows the credits that apply for the
specific volunteer activity. Prior to the start of the ski season, a volunteer reminder will be sent
to all DPST members. The reminder will outline how to access the online system to sign-up for
specific volunteer jobs.
Credit for a volunteer activity is earned only after the task associated with the position is fulfilled.
The Volunteer Coordinator and/or Team Manager will verify that the hours were successfully
completed.
If an event is postponed and you are not able to help with the re-scheduled volunteer event,
please contact the volunteer coordinator to let them know that you will be unable to volunteer. If
a volunteer activity/event that you sign up for is cancelled, please contact the Volunteer
Coordinator to discuss other volunteer activities that you can sign up for, as you will not receive
credit for volunteer activities that did not take place.
DPST calculates volunteer credits at the conclusion of the ski season and notifies families of the
total credits earned for volunteer activities. Checks for the amount of credits earned will be sent
by July 1st 2023. Families will have the option to donate your volunteer deposit to DPSEF at
the end of the season. Unearned volunteer credits result in forfeiture of the volunteer deposit to
DPST.

DPST Discipline Plan
1st Violation: Verbal warnings may be given prior to written violations to provide time for voluntary corrective action. If unsuccessful, a written warning detailing the problem and the next step of action to be taken will be sent to parents. Skiers can return to team activities only after the coach and parents communicate and the written warning is signed by parents and returned to the coach.

2nd Violation: Written notice of continuing problem sent to parents and simultaneously skier will be suspended from all team activities until coach, skier, and parent meet, or at minimum, coach and parent discuss a solution to a continuing problem.
3rd Violation: Indefinite suspension from team activities and return of loaned equipment. Coach and parent communicate and determine the final action plan for the skier including whether or not the skier will continue to be a member of the Diamond Peak Ski Team. If an athlete is removed from the team, registration and volunteer fees will not be refunded.
Depending on the seriousness of the violation, the penalty for the first violation may be escalated by the Program Director or the Board of Directors to either 2nd or 3rd violation consequences.

Actions taken on the policies of the Diamond Peak Ski Team are subject to coaches’ discretion and can be appealed to by parents and skiers. An appeal requires a meeting with the involved coach, team manager, parent, and skier.
