Re: Are 8 play regional reasonable?

I'm sorry; I cannot comprehend the concept of "can't contribute volunteers".
Do you have students on your team? Yes. Good; this means you also have at least 1 parent per student. Even if you have 5 students, that's 5 parents! Look; volunteers!!! Like it or not, when the student signs up for robotics, the parent does too.

I've been on a small team (< 15) for many years and currently mentor a big team (> 45) and I have NEVER had a problem finding volunteers from my team. There are just no excuses. I get it; people work. But not everyone works. (Note: hs students can be volunteers too)
