**ALL POSITIONS HAVE BEEN FILLED**

The Omaha Sports Commission is looking for volunteers to help run cameras on the ice during the live stream of the US Olympic Curling Trials, Nov. 11 - 18, at Baxter Arena. The volunteers do not need to know specifics on camera operations as this would all be taught.

Job Description

The operators would handle a camera at ice level and follow the shooters as they throw their stones or the skips as they call the games. The streaming company would communicate with the operators from the booth so they know when they are being shown live. The camera operators would be right in the middle of the action.

The dates and times are listed below with the number of camera operators needed in parenthesis. The camera operators will be asked to arrive in advance of each session for a quick briefing.
