[quote=Anonymous]My husband volunteered coaching the rec team My daughter played basketball for.

I know he did a lot - changing his work schedule to get home by practice time,  his travel schedule to be home on practice nights, studying before hand on how to coach 7yo girl basketball, buying pinnies and cones and other props; dealing with tantrums, parents coming late, chauffeuring kids home, picking kids up; volunteer training beforehand, meeting with the commissioner, sending emails and texts, setting rotations so it would be fair, giving pep talks. etc. 
Having not really dealt with the volunteer kids, sports world before, he was not expecting anything. In fact, he was pretty uncomfortable accepting it. he received a Sports Authority gift card and a toy basketball and photo of the team all signed the frame. So maybe $15 donation  from each parent. That was appreciated. That said, thank you. If it was a $20’Starbucks gift card or even just the signed picture would’ve given him same message.
