Vol-un-teer (noun)- a person who freely offers to take part in an enterprise or undertake a task........Community based youth athletic programs are almost always staffed by unpaid, hard working volunteers. The number of youth teams operating on any given weekend around the country truly is impressive. I am of the opinion that the coaches and organizers of these athletic programs are a very under appreciated bunch. An observation by my cynical side is that these coaches are often pressured and coerced to volunteer. The criticism, second guessing and verbal abuse starts soon after agreeing to help. All the more reason for the rest of us to say "Thank You".
