Canteen Monday to Friday, uniform shop two mornings a week, a fete once a year and a working bee every term — all filled by the same parents, chased in the same class group chat. VolunTeam puts every one of those jobs on one page parents can sign up on themselves.
Numbers are a guide only — set your own slots, names and times to match how your club runs.

Grab a free canteen roster template or the game day volunteer checklist to get started.
Post every canteen shift for the term at once, share the link in the newsletter, and let parents claim the days that suit them. You can see at a glance which days are still short and message only the people who haven't put their hand up yet.
Break the fete into stalls and two-hour blocks, and let families pick their slot. Everyone rostered gets a reminder and an add-to-calendar file, and if someone can't make it they request a swap instead of quietly not turning up.
Hours roll up per parent and per period, so you can thank the right people at the end of the year, print certificates, and show your committee where the load is really falling.
