[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a Team Rep. I was asked to be one because I have an A meet swimmer. I did not feel like I could say no. I don’t mind doing it but I did not “covet” the job, angle to get it, or strategize about how to get it. I don’t consider myself to be part of any “clique” but if you are calling the volunteers who have gotten to know each other through doing these jobs a “clique,” well, okay, but I assure you that at our pool anybody who steps up to take these bigger volunteer roles is embraced and welcomed wholeheartedly to the so-called “clique.”[/quote]

Really? There are plenty of A meet parents and other qualified parents for the role. Why were you asked and not them? [/quote]

You sound like you yourself wanted to be asked to do something and were not.  Have you ever inquired to your team leadership as to whether you could be considered for a bigger job?   I could virtually guarantee that you'd be able to land concessions without anybody fighting you.  Running the equivalent of a hot-menu food truck, up to health code, with only inexperienced volunteers, at every home meet is probably second in difficulty only to being team rep (or coaching).[/quote]
