[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our team has a 15 credit hour minimum or you’re charged a $250 fee. I’m not thrilled with that. We missed a week of swim due to vacation and trying to get hours is tough. We’re having a breakfast this morning for the team. I took off work and spent hours buying and prepping food only to go online and see that the credit hours for food were cut by 75% overnight. [/quote]

That's absurd. Ours bases it on meets. If your kid just wants to practice and never do a meet, you're fine just paying your registration fees. If your kid is in a meet, you have to volunteer for a meet (not necessarily that meet).  [/quote]

How do you enforce volunteering?

We have parents with kids at a and b meets who never volunteer. 
But also no sure to enforce that all parents volunteer. 
Instead we just talk about them behind their backs. [/quote]

No the PP but I don’t think kids should be allowed to swim if their parents don’t ever volunteer.  Easy way to enforce would be populating the eligibility list for meets based on the volunteer signups from previous meets.  So, when you go to register, your kid’s name isn’t on the list if you haven’t volunteered. Obviously, you would start this after a few meets have happened and probably exempt the 6/u parents who are new.  Volunteering doesn’t have to be a huge timesuck if everyone pitches in. [b]30 minutes during a meet is not a big ask[/b].[/quote]

when is it ever 30 min during a meet?  :lol:

but still these are parents who are at all the meet watching bust still never volunteer.[/quote]
