Parent Participation Points
System(P.P.P)
In order for the Club to run efficiently and
smoothly and to meet the needs of the community, the Club relies on
volunteer contribution from its members. The PPP system is designed
to communicate to
families the expected volunteer requirements. The PPP system
requires that each swimmer’s family or guardian(s) earns
points through the year by volunteering for various positions and
roles in the Club. The number of points that must be earned in the
year is determined based on the swimmer’s level at the
beginning of the year (see table below). If a family or guardian
has more than one swimmer in the Club, they are only required to
earn the points assigned to the highest level swimmer. It is not
necessary to earn points
for each swimmer. The number of points required does not change
through the year even if the swimmer moves to a higher
level.
Volunteer opportunities within the Club are assigned
a nominal point value. A list of volunteer opportunities and their
assigned value may be found on the Club’s website
(www.richmondrapids.com) along
with regular updates of each family’s earned PPPs. To
encourage families to volunteer at the Club, each point is assigned
a value of $40. If families fail to earn all the points required in
the year, the difference between the number of points required and
actual points earned multiplied by $40 must be paid to the Club.
For example, if the family or guardian of a RD1 swimmer earns 8
points compared to the required 10 points, they must pay $80 (2
times $40). The Club requires each family to provide post-dated
cheques equivalent in value to their assigned PPP dollar value at
the time of registration.
