[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is there a classroom parent role in schools? Aren't we paying for the teachers with our high taxes? Why can't the teacher or the principal organize the field trips and class parties?

The reality is there is a bunch of grunt work to do to make the team operational--outside of just the games. Do you want your coach doing that grunt work or coaching your players?

I am on a team that has 5+ parent volunteer roles and am so thankful for that. Just doing the tournament administration is a job in itself. Hoisting it on one team parent is insane unless that person has a ton of time to devote. Many hands make light work...

If you wanted clubs to hire an admin for every team your fees would be much higher. If you wanted your coaach to do this, your player would have less coaching.

OP here.  I'm good with paying $1K more to have a team admin and no parent involvement.  Parent involvement in the administrative / team management roles is what makes travel soccer cliqish which needs to be eliminated.  Not only is the club taking your money but taking your time as well.  Club's need to figure out how to operate without player parent involvement.  Only thing parents should doing is schlepping the kids around and standing on the sidelines cheering them on.[/quote]
