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.

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

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]

Please don’t compare bringing snack to actually volunteering your time. I coach rec soccer and still manage to volunteer at swim meets. Paying your registration fee does not make the team work - any rec level sport. If we want to keep these activities available and at a cost that almost anyone can manage, it takes volunteers.  So thankful we have families whose DC have moved off swim team who still come back and lend their time. [/quote] I am grateful for our soccer coach. But we have 12ish kids on our team and only need 1 coach and 1 assistant.  I do shift work so can’t physically coach the same night every week. What I can do is bring snacks. I know it’s not the same but it’s what I can do, so I do it. [/quote]
