The Coaches and club executive are volunteers who spend hundreds of hours yearly preparing and working with athletes. Since there are over 60 meets a year, it is impossible to expect choaches to attend all meets, all the time
It is responsible of the athlete, parents, or guardians to assure travel or accommodatioins are made. Since there is shared cooperative spirit, though, car pooling and room sharing is common
As a volunteer organisation, there are a number of minor duties which are neither difficult or time consuming, Athletes and Parents are expected to contribute in some way to the running of the club
