If you have a large team (say 150+ kids) and your volunteer coordinator is on top of things and tracking volunteer hours you shouldn’t need to volunteer more than 3 times a season. It does require people being forced to pull their weight though and not just allowing the same families to step up week after week. [/quote]

Hmm. we have a big team (200 kids) and have to do 5 jobs each season. [/quote]
Unless your team is doing an excessive amount of non-meet related events (and I know some teams do) that need volunteers, a team with say 100-125 different families should not need each family to volunteer for 5 jobs a season. I’m terrible at math but that amounts to 500-625 total volunteer jobs per season, which just isn’t happening at most pools.[/quote]

Sounds like the volunteer coordinator is trying to build in a cushion for inevitable scofflaws.[/quote]
