Corporate Challenge Team Captains
Team Captains have several responsibilities, the most significant being recruiting, volunteer management, form submissions, and invoice payment.
Recruiting
Your first team captain responsibility will be recruiting employees to participate in the Challenge. We recommend recruiting participants from every area or department in your organization, and the following tips may prove helpful:
- Choose a few people from your main departments to help recruit others.
- Meet on a regular basis with these individuals to plan and implement your strategies.
- Get the word out! Bulletin boards and handouts with paychecks are great ways to spread the word, but don't rely on these alone. One-on-one communication is the best way to reach everyone.
- Use the Entry Form and Event Calendar in the Corporate Challenge Handbook to determine and log the events each employee wants to participate in.
- Make numerous copies of the Corporate Challenge Official Entry Release Form, which you can find on our Registration web page, and give them to each department.
- Weekly employee meetings are a great opportunity to tell people about Corporate Challenge and answer any questions.
Form Submissions
Fill out the Official Entry Form with the number of participants competing in each event, the total number of people participating in the Challenge, and your company's division. Additionally, have every participant sign the Official Entry Release Form. Return all signed forms to the YMCA—the Captains Meeting on Monday, August 18, is a convenient opportunity to do so.
Invoice Payments
We are happy to collect sponsor fees at the end of Corporate Challenge when we send out participation bills and invoices. Participation Fees are based on the number of individuals/teams that compete in each event. The Participation Fee bill will be mailed to each team captain by September 24, and payments should be made to the Y by October 24.
