[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a major issue with rec soccer.  Clubs will take in all the kids and take your money even if they don't have the coaches in place.  I had to step up and coach my kid's rec team years ago twice even though I have a very busy work schedule.  It's BS.  They should have X amount of teams and that's it.  X amount of teams already has assigned coaches (parent volunteers).  Rec soccer is a pure money grab.[/quote] I agree with you. They make it sound great to get you to sign up, then you do the sign up bit get guilted into coaching when that’s not what you signed up for. I get it, they need volunteers but be honest up front. I’m happy to bring snacks/drinks and I bring my kid on time to practices and games. I work rotating 12s and don’t have the ability to coach. If I did thought I still don’t want to, I just don’t. I volunteer in any ways in my life, sports isn’t it. [/quote]

Its not a bait and switch. You signed up for rec soccer--which you know is coached by volunteers--so don't get bent out of shape when they need volunteers.
If you can't volunteer, fine, but don't even begin to think that being on time and bringing snacks is doing your fair share.
