[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So far, nothing.  It's my kids' first year swimming Divisionals and I'm disappointed there's nothing special in the works.  In previous years, there have been pep rallies and poster-making sessions - if that's still happening, it's awfully late notice![/quote]
I encourage you to take on a volunteer role that ensures something “special” gets “in the works”.
I don’t mean to be snarky, but working parent team reps are using every spare second of time to ensure the league-required steps happen for divisionals. They may have zero capacity left to guide coaches in making sure these special activities happen. If you want to see them happen, offer to make them happen. [/quote]

Guess what?  I know our team reps are working hard.  I also know our coaching staff has a lot of experienced junior and assistant coaches, who could capably pull something together.  Our head coach is not new.  We didn't get the Divisionals confirmation until Wednesday of this week.

As for my volunteering, I've worked eight meets this season, all either clerk of course or stroke and turn.  I'll be working Divisionals tomorrow.  On several occasions, I've agreed to last minute requests from our reps to fill those roles, because they know I'm good at them.  I'm happy to help.  I'm also allowed to feel disappointed about this one aspect of our team. [/quote]
