I was a team rep a few years ago. We had a family that hs 3 kids on the team, the youngest of whom was 8 (meaning no infants or toddlers).  The parents never volunteered. I called and asked them to volunteer at the whole meet for Divisionals, as they hadn’t done anything and they had swimmers throughout all events. The mom said she was going to be out of town for work. I asked about her husband and she said he had work out of town, too. At Divisionals, I was walking past the swimmer drop off area and who is dropping her kids off - the mom. She tried to turn her head but I saw. Then, 30 min later I saw her watching from a distant spot. I came up to her and asked what happened to the work trip. She said it had just cancelled. In all the subsequent years- the family has never volunteered…and we don’t charge for it but should.

So when people say some people don’t volunteer - they don’t. Take take take.  [/quote]

There are always some families that do this. I can actually think of a few right now - all private school families as a matter of fact. But for the most part I do find that families volunteer. [/quote]
