Other Information

• Brentwood Soccer Club is a non-profit group contracted to work concessions for Predator's hockey games, concerts and special events that take place at the Sommet Center. In return for volunteering our time, Sommet (by way of Sportservice) donates money to our club for volunteers to pay for their children's soccer expenses. In order to work any of the events, volunteers must be at least 18 years old and go through a yearly training class. If you are interested in joining this fundraising opportunity, please email Darleen Jenner, the Brentwood Soccer Girls Sommet Coordinator.
• Upcoming events are posted on this site about 2 months in advance or as soon as they are announced. As long as you are a member of the group, you will receive an email each time new events are added. You can sign up to work any event as soon as the deadline date is posted and you can request to remove your name from an event anytime up until the posted deadline date by emailing Darleen. Please sign up by the deadline date posted. After that date, you can only be added to an event if Sommet requests additional workers or if someone needs a substitute. It is important to check your calendar before signing up to work an event, because once confirmed rosters are posted, you are committed to working the event. If you find you can’t work, it Is your responsibility to find a substitute and alert Darleen of who it is. A link to a phone/email list of all the active members of our group is available upon request via email. It won't be posted on this website, for privacy and security reasons. In the event of a true emergency on the day of the event, you will need to call Darleen as soon as possible, so Sommet can be alerted of the change.
• We all park in the Sommet employee lot behind Cokesbury book store and catch a shuttle (sometimes walk if it is pretty out) to the Sommet center. For planning purposes, it is best to be in the lot 15-20 minutes before the call time. If you have to wait for the shuttle or decide to walk, then you will still get inside in time. You can choose to try to park on the street, but it is not safe to do so considering the time we get out most nights. If you decide to walk back to the lot after the event, PLEASE do not walk alone.

• Parking costs $2 per car in the Cokesbury lot, shuttle is free.
• You are given a Preds jersey and a name tag at the beginning of each night and you will return them before you leave. You may want to wear a white (supposed to be white) T-shirt that you can leave on underneath the jersey, or you can change in the locker room. Everyone is required to wear Khaki pants and closed-toe shoes. Tennis shoes or something very comfortable are recommended.
• You will need to purchase a BWSC ball cap ($15) unless you already have one. Everyone in the stand has to wear the same hat, so the group opted to buy BWSC caps in lieu of wearing Sommet caps that can be borrowed for each event. Email Darleen and she can get you one.
• Each event has a “call time”. This is the time that you have to be in the building ready to work.
• Each volunteer is guaranteed a certain amount ($55, unless noted otherwise) for each event you work. However, there are many opportunities to make commission in excess of the guarantee. Commissions are based on a stand's overall inventory sales and how many events the entire group has worked during the contracted period (Sept.-Aug.) There are exceptions to the guarantees and tiers of commission.
  
• We get paid approximately 6 weeks after each event worked. Checks go to the treasurer of your team and they credit your child’s account. You may want to let your treasurer know you are working with this fundraising project. BWSC related fees and travel expenses for tournaments can be paid from this account. Talk to your treasurer about his/her procedures for payment of these expenses; they all handle it differently. If you have any questions regarding Sommet pay-outs, email Melissa Taylor. Melissa handles all the finances for our group.
