The Volunteer Building director is responsible for ensuring that county rules and procedures for the use of the gym facilities are followed and that the building custodial personnel are notified of the ongoing activities and completion of activities.  The Volunteer Building Director is not permitted to work as a coach, timekeeper or scorekeeper in a game because they need to be alert for things that may occur in their area of the building during a game.

1.      Gym Opening

a.      The VBD must arrive at the gym thirty (30) minutes prior to tip-off time for the first game.
