[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If volunteer obligations are not being met - the expectations are too great. Period.

The fact that they aren't too much for some does not mean they are reasonable. If it isn't working, the answer is - it's not working.[/quote]
Highly disagree. There are always moochers. If everyone contributed a reasonable share it wouldn’t be bad, but they don’t. I think that’s the OPs point. [/quote]

I'm generally not going to volunteer for a task that isn't necessary (above-referenced pancake breakfasts, ribbons at every meet / heat, etc.).  Swim parents sound crazy.

My kid does travel and school softball and there's little of this bullshit. Current travel team has people volunteer to bring coffee to early start games for the coaches and parents, but that's it.  If you don't end up in the championship of the tournament, there's no ribbon or anything.  Typically 144 (12 girls on a team x 12) girls in each age group walk away from a tournament without anything -- and that's okay.  (assuming a "gold" and "silver" bracket at the end with 16 teams in the tournament).  If we are going to be at a field all day, we may put together a potluck lunch, or not.  Just depends.  Concesssions are not always available, and we plan accordingly.[/quote]
Oh wow! Does your son’s baseball team have 100+ kids??[/quote]
