One problem is though it ends up being the same parents that are approached to help out because people know they will do it, and then they get annoyed of it because sometimes they just want to relax and watch the game.
I agree, but without people pitching in there is no game! Typically the people involved watch the game more closely too. Those on the side lines sit and drink coffee and chat, probably clueless on whats going on.
Through footy, cricket, baseball, basketball and netball with my kids I've lent a helping hand at every one of them and wouldn't change it for the world.
If you want to go quickly, go alone.
If you want to go far, go together.
