[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The big question is what do your clubs do when it is your superstars who have parents that can't (or won't) volunteer?[/quote]

I can’t speak for other pools, but it’s a non issue at our pool. Those are typically the parents who volunteer the most. They’re the team reps, the refs, the stroke and turn judges and the data coordinators. They volunteer at A meets, divisionals and and all stars. A few are even on the pool board (in addition to doing the above mentioned jobs). They pull their weight…and then some. [/quote]

Our team too. They are most definitely not the problem. They constantly are stepping up when we are short volunteers and are typically also reg, s & t judges etc.

Our team added 60 new members this year - yet I’m getting more emails begging for volunteers. They dropped our job requirement this year based on the additional members but can’t fill the slots. It’s easy to figure out it’s the new ppl not pulling their weight. [/quote]
