Belligerent,

You raise a very good point about the need for parent volunteers. Volunteers make it happen, the club doesn't succeed or grow with out them.

But when does the passion for voluteerism wane or cease to exist?

When my kid paid $36 per season to play (rec), I was there.....lining fields and coaching games.

When my kid paid $125 per season to play (Travel soccer in PA), I was coaching teams and sitting on the Board.

When my kid paid $325 per season to play (classic), I was coaching and club president.
(DISCLAIMER - I was compensated for coaching)

When my kid paid $675 per season to play (challenge), I drove her to the game and cheered from the sideline.

When my kid pays $1,500 per season to play for the super club.....do you really still need me to volunteer? Isn't that kind of cash good enough?
