[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]RTO has not had any effect on our league's coach volunteers. For some reason a[b]fter covid it became incredibly hard to get volunteers [/b]for anything. Weird since working from home should have opened up more free time. Everyone wants their kid to participate but they want to drop and run.[/quote]

True for our league as well. Not sure what the explanation was. We can't even get parents to volunteer for one-offs like "check kids into evaluations".[/quote]

Our league requires a certain number of volunteer hours per season. You can also pay an extra fee ($$$) to opt out. [/quote]

But what happens if everyone pays the fee?[/quote]

Then the rec league folds. See my post above. We had everyone opt to pay their way out after many seasons of declining volunteering or no-show volunteers. We had collected enough funds to hire people but couldn't get sufficient paid employees to fill the gap. Then we had no one to coach or run things so we returned everyone's money and cancelled the season.  It was sad for the kids but I don't think their parents cared.[/quote]

OP here. Our board discussed the fee recently (someone else beside me had proposed it initially) and this was the concern - we'd get more money for things, but it wouldn't help.[/quote]
