Session Leaders 

Please report to the courts 30 minutes before your set start time to get mic’d as needed. We will have a smaller sound system setup for the Health and Wellness stage (2 speakers, one handheld mic, and one lavaliere mic). Please look for Ariel (773) 727-3587 as your point of contact upon arrival. 

We ask that you bring any additional personnel and equipment needed for your segment (balls, ropes, uniforms, rope turners, designated basketball players, etc). We will provide the stage and sound. 

Dunk Contest & 3 on 3

For the Dunk Contest, Planet Fitness is offering a Black Card Membership for a full year as a prize for the Dunk Contest. Eddie, feel free to direct the winner to meet with ARIEL who will connect with them about their prize. 

The court is not a full court size. It is a split court setup with 4 hoops. We will have two 3 on 3 games going simultaneously for youth 13-18. 

Volunteers for the Health and Wellness Area 

We ask for your support with the following: 

  • De-escalating conflict if it arises

  • Encouraging attendees to participate (help with turning during double dutch, affirm participants in dance workshops, etc) 

  • Trouble shoot sound issues if they arise

  • Monitor sound equipment onsite to make sure no one runs off with the handheld mic or lapel mic.

  • Collect trash and constantly maintain a clean area

Water should be regularly stocked in this area to ensure participants in health and wellness activations are hydrated. Please source water from the green room (Morning View Word Church).

Ariel will be the lead point of contact for the Ida Be Well Health & Wellness Activation Stage. 

In the Event of an Injury

Please direct any parties to the first aid tent. Have a volunteer escort them there by looking for the tent with the bright red flag beside it. Please immediately ping the first aid tent on your walkie-talkie to prepare them for incoming people.

In the event a child or parent gets separated from their family or people

Encourage them to meet at Lost & Found, which is also the First Aid Tent. First aid should then cue the stage manager to have it announced by emcees at the earliest possible moment.

For Ariel

Planet Fitness will be setting up an activation near the Health & Wellness stage and providing giveaways and prizes throughout the day. They will also be providing a Black Card Membership for a year to the winner of the dunk contest. Ariel will be the point person responsible for connecting with them when they arrive between noon and 1pm, ensuring their table is in the right location, and answering any questions they have. Ariel will also be responsible for collecting information from the winner of the dunk contest. She will collect the winners name, email, phone, DOB and which Planet Fitness location they would like to use their Black Card Membership at. This info will need to be sent to the following email address as soon as the dunk contest ends:
