[quote=Anonymous]I haven't read this whole thread, but as an A rep (for a few years, and I also work full-time) I'd like to chime in, with the caveat that we have a large team (~200 swimmers).

Totally fine if you can't volunteer at a meet! There are so many "behind the scenes" jobs you can do:

Plan dine-outs as fundraisers- you never have to leave your desk.

Coordinate the team photo- can do it all from home until the day of the actual photo.

Take charge of ordering the trophies for your team, again all from home except for picking them up and bringing them to the team banquet.

Be on the banquet committee to plan.

Take charge of apparel or getting end-of-season coach gifts.

And trust me, there are more.

In my eyes, these would exempt you from volunteering at meets. Please, just ask your reps what you can do, I promise you they need help and there is a role to fit everyone's schedule and personality. I understand that not all this is necessarily needed, but the goal is to make it fun for the kids and create great memories.

Please, reach out to your reps and ask what you can do to help, your kids and the other parents will appreciate it so much!!
