[quote=Anonymous]My daughter has joined a CLUB sport (in her case, rowing) at her local public high school where she attends school.  This is distinguished from a SCHOOL sport (for example, soccer) that is sponsored and paid for mostly through public school dollars.  As a club sport, the club is reliant upon parent volunteers to make the club a success.  Everything, from the uniforms, to the supplies (in my daughter's club sport this includes boats, oars, and off-site storage fees, not to mention insurance, operation fees, and training equipment none of which is paid for nor supplied by the public school system).  There is no extra money to "hire someone."  So, yes, mandatory parent participation is a must.  That being said, I would guess that since this two-parent requirement is new, your situation of a deployed spouse is probably not an issue that the organizers had considered.  In your case, everyone needs to agree that we are all doing our best, including the people who came up with the two-parent participation rule, and alert the organizers to your situation.  When your spouse is serving the country, I personally would consider this service to the club and one and done should be the rule.  [/quote]
