Home game gate information

I know we have a lot of new families this year so I would like to let everyone know the gate procedure for home games. There is a lot of information here so please read to the end.

1) If you are working the gate table for the first game, please be at the gym and ready at least 30 minutes before the game begins. At times in the past, the visiting team and families are there before 30 minutes before game time, but also, at times in the past, LRC does not let us in the gym as early as we would like. Just work with LRC and stand just inside the doors (after the staff lets us know we may enter the gym) as everyone enters while a table is being set up for you. LRC staff is really good about helping us get the gym ready for our games. Once you receive the gate money box and notebook, count the beginning money and initial in the notebook. The treasurer has already done this but just initial beside hers.

2) If you are a team that follows another game, please go promptly to the gate table as soon as the previous game is concluded to relieve that parent. Between games, both team gate parents (concluding team and incoming team) count the money, record totals, and both initial in notebook.

3) Parents and siblings of Panther players get into home games free. Grandma, Grandpa, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. will need to pay admission fees. Moms, please let your husbands know this information and ask them to let the gate person know that they are a Panther players dad.

4) The refs usually brings their ref pay sheet to the gate table, just put this inside the front pocket of the folder. The treasurer will be by to take care of them, usually after the game.

Gate fees:
Adults: $4
Students: $2
Family Max: $12
Senior Citizens: $2

Any child younger than school age is free. Give grace to our grown up siblings who are in college and give them the student rate, they are students, right? If you are not sure, just ask, they will be happy to receive the discount. If a dad from the visiting team comes (for example) and all they have in their wallet is $2, then give grace and let them through with paying $2. Sometimes we just forget to run to the bank to get cash to give to our dads. So, in a nutshell, when working the gate table, sometimes we just need to use our own discretion at times.

If you have further questions, (don't ask me! LOL) ask Cindy our wonderful treasurer!!
