Ok, title is not accurate. But I am involved in LL sports with my boys. And it DOES cost a lot of money. Volunteers offset costs. We don't have a rule like that in out park. But if we did, we would follow it. This woman comes off like a dunce. "She believed she could work another time". Use the phone! Find a substitute! Do what it takes! Stop treating park sports as a day care program!

Only problem I have with this is the little boy who was forced to pay a price for his mom's actions (I would not have done that). Can't get off work? Then don't sign 'em up for activities that you cannot support. Its NOT day care.
