[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn’t know I would have to volunteer either. I paid my money for my kid to be on the team. Our meets are at night this year and go until gone 9pm. They always ask for timers but I’m hesitant because I don’t want to be stuck there that late. I have to get up for work at 5am so I usually head out when DD is done. [/quote]

Honest question, does your child participate in any other rec sport? [/quote] yes soccer. I sign up to bring snacks once or twice during the season. [/quote]

TBH, I’m judging you.

As someone who has volunteered to sell concessions, coach, and be a team manager. Yes, when snacks were a thing, we did that too. Without volunteers your child wouldn’t be able to play. [/quote] the thing is, we were not told all this volunteering was involved when we signed up. I do work FT, I’m on the HOA board where I live because no one else wants to be, I am a co leader of a girl
Scout troop too, and also just came off a year of homeschooling.  I am emotionally maxed out right now, I know other people do all this and more, but for me, I’m exhausted and feel like I’m being pulled in too many directions. [/quote]

I find it incredibly hard to believe that there was no communication regarding volunteering when you registered. 
Even giving you the benefit of the doubt, when you went to time trials and there were 50 parents volunteering....that didn't clue you in that there was an expectation of volunteering? You could have asked for a refund and bowed out at that point.[/quote]
