Every year AGTBA hosts our Arctic Blast tournament. The 2025 tournament dates are November 15-16. Tournament location is Andover High School.

As a non-profit organization, AGTBA is strictly run by volunteers, mostly parents who step up and are willing to help as coaches, assistant coaches, team parents, and board members of AGTBA.

Now that your daughter(s) is/are a part of this organization, AGTBA requires 8 volunteer hours per family. An adult or 16+ family member(s) must volunteer 8 hours during the Arctic Blast tournament. Other volunteer opportunities may be available.

When you register your daughter(s) for AGTBA, you are required to add a $400 volunteer opt-out fee. You can choose to pay the fee up front and any responsibility for volunteer hours is then waived, or you can choose to defer the payment.

If you choose to defer payment of the volunteer opt-out fee, you will NOT be charged up front. Upon fulfillment of volunteer hours through DIBS, the fee will be cancelled and your credit card will NOT be charged.

If you do not fulfill your volunteer hours during the Arctic Blast tournament or at any other point through the season, your credit card will be charged the $400 volunteer opt-out fee on March 1, 2026.

There will be an email that will go out to all AGTBA families as tournament time draws near with a link to our DIBS website. This will provide you with options on time, duties, and location to fulfill your volunteer hours.

In order to put on a successful tournament we need your help! Please contact Bridget Hymans, our Tournament Director, with any questions.

There are a few other opportunities this year to fulfill your volunteer requirement.  

• You may volunteer to staff the AGTBA booth at the Andover Family Fun Fest on July 12-13. There will be several shifts available through the day on Saturday, July 13.
• You may volunteer to be at one of the upcoming open houses at Andover Elementary, Crooked Lake Elementary, or Rum River Elementary. Dates and times will be updated as they become available. We would love for some AGTBA girls to be there as well, but we can only use adult or age 16+ hours to fulfill the requirement. Email our Tournament Director below if you are interested.
• For every 10 raffle tickets you sell in addition to your initial 10 tickets, you will fulfill 2 hours of your volunteer requirement.
• Obtaining sponsors provides volunteer hours. Silver level sponsors will fulfill 2 hours, gold level sponsors will fulfill 4 hours, and platinum level sponsors will fulfill all 8 hours.
