Why does the club want parents to volunteer?

- EditorsBest answerMany community sport associations and clubs are non-profits that rely on parent volunteers to run things: team managers, scorekeepers, event helpers, tournament support and so on. Some ask each family to complete a set number of volunteer hours, or to pay a volunteer deposit that is refunded once the hours are done; some let you pay a fee instead. Before registering, ask about the exact requirement, how the deposit works and which roles are available. Don't worry if your English isn't perfect, as many roles don't involve much talking.
