[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does the family usually offer to reimburse? I think it's awkward with team meals and such. [/quote]

I’m the first 9:29 and it’s all of this.  It’s not just the travel to the tournament but it’s all of the team meals and making sure they have what they need for the long tournament days.  Volleyball tournaments are very long and it’s a lot.  I’m not going to do this next year.  [/quote]

How do you say no if it's a friend of your kid? The kid is important to the team. I think the parents think if they just pay for the room it's NBD, but being in charge of another teenager for an entire weekend is a big deal IMO, and a huge inconvenience. [/quote]

If they are actually good friends, outside of the sport, then I don’t have a problem with it.  If not then I say we are not able to do it.  No, I don’t feel bad. These people are not feeling bad asking you so I don’t feel bad declining.  It’s always the same families not attending the away tournaments, which is why I now distance myself.  [/quote]
