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]
I’m sure, but your job as volunteer coordinator should also be to make sure people are pulling their own weight. Piling more on the people that do step up is not the answer. [/quote]
