[quote=Anonymous]That makes sense. I was going to say that field prep often just happens and is done by whatever dads are standing around (since the kids have to be there early for warmups). I’d say in the email that due to covid/timing issues, you need people to sign up for a slot.

, I’d say something to the effect of “if no one signs up for field prep, the coaches will have to step away from warmups to do it, while the teams sits and waits. The boys need to run through a proper warmup before the game to prevent injury and this would not be ideal.”  and reiterate that field prep is not difficult and one of the assistant coaches can give a quick instruction if needed.

Same for scorekeeper. We had this issue on one of my boys teams and the coach said “if no one volunteers, the bench coach has to score instead of helping supervise and warm up pitchers in the bullpen, and pay attention to and help your children in the dugout.

Make it clear that if parents don’t volunteer, the coaches will have to take time to do it rather than COACH, &  the kids will lose out. [/quote]
