[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our team is attending the Sport Fair Winter Classic and we just got another “sign up” link to volunteer with a directive that they want every swimmer attending to volunteer for one spot. This is the only club that ever does this… why? [b]Don’t the Marlins have parents who are capable of volunteering at their own meets?[/b] They seem very disorganized.[/quote]

Yes. They absolutely do. In fact, Marlins swimmers are not allowed to swim at this meet unless their parents sign up to volunteer- which makes me think your club just forwarded the email that was actually meant for Marlins parents. Personally, I am volunteering every day even though I am not required to. I much prefer volunteering to sitting in the stands, squished like a sardine for multiple hours. Most of us Marlins parents feel like same. [b]We’re a small club that operates with a village mentality.[/b] If you would like to help with that, great. If not, you do your thing. No one is going to judge you. [/quote]

You all are not a small club and have not been for several years now.  You all also have the most swimmers in the meet as the host (120) whereas the other teams are at 80.[/quote]
