[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I honestly think its unfair how much more the fast kids get for their swim team registration.

B meet Larlo pays $200 and gets to swim in 5 lame, long, boring B meets that aren't even scored like real meets.

A meet Larla pays $200 and gets to swim in 5 super fun A meets, with themes and team lunches, 5 B meets, extra attention from coaches during Practice, relay carnival, all star relay carnival, and individual all stars. A
meet Larla's parents [b]aren't required to do any extra volunteering above what B meet Larlo's parenrs do[/b]. It honestly feels like the B team families are subsidizing the A swimmers.

Oh please, A meet families naturally volunteer a LOT more. Our team doesn't currently have volunteer requirements, but I can tell you A meet families are a lot more committed to the team and do a hell of a lot more of the work. Team Reps ALWAYS have A meet swimmers as do all of our officials, data coordinator, table head and so forth. It's rare that a family with strictly B meet swimmers are volunteering to do any of the big jobs. [/quote]

Honest question, how do you run a team without any volunteer requirements? [/quote]

We have considered it but overall our parents are great and don’t need threats of volunteer fees to help out. If we need volunteers we will reach out to families who haven’t volunteered much. Once they know we know they aren’t volunteering they typically step up more.  Having a relatively large team also helps.

Even with volunteer requirements some families will still end up doing more. [/quote]
