Agree. I feel like the current volunteer requirements are from 25 years ago when there were fewer 2-working-parent and single-parent households.

I'd be happy to write a check to hire part-time timers and judges. Just like soccer doesn't expect parents to ref games.[/quote]

Hahaha. You know hard it is to even find paid officials for a few meets a year?!? [/quote]

DP. There aren’t any teens or retired people who can do this?  My kids participate in every other sport I can think of except swim. All have paid volunteers. Depending on the sport and their ages, it is always teens or retired individuals. Every game or tournament.  And from reading this thread, it sounds like so many of these volunteer hours are about concessions. Why not get rid of them all together? I don’t understand how many of these jobs are really necessary vs. nice to have.

Whoever suggested using taskrabbit for volunteer hours was brilliant. [/quote]

10% or less of the volunteer hours are for concessions.

Re: hiring teens or retired people:  Teens who are qualified are swimming.  Retired will pass out from the heat.[/quote]
