[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are no consequences on our team if you don’t volunteer.  Reps are of the mentality that is not the kids fault if they have crappy parents so kids still swim A meets.

Our team reps have not created an environment that makes it fun for parents. It’s very cliquish.

We are is middle division team and parents are mean. They exclude people and it makes them not care. It’s not inclusive.

We were a fun team 3 years ago but things change with new reps. What can you do.

This is exactly the situation on our team too. There is a volunteer requirement but if you don’t meet it, you get an email asking you to volunteer. So there are families who just never bother. Coupled with the fact that there is an “in group” of parents who run everything and make others feel like they are not wanted or welcome, and there’s no motivation to volunteer. We’re about to start our 15th season on the team and we’ve gone from volunteering at every meet to getting our required hours in and moving on. [/quote]
