FPDAD Posted June 30, 2008 Report Posted June 30, 2008 What is your teams policy on team funds? How much do teams charge for dues and what all does this cover? If a person quits the team does this person typically get the monies back that they have generated from fundraisers, Or is this team money? Is team money used to purchased eqiupment, other than balls and incidentals, if so who keeps the equipment should something happen to the team? I am courious how other teams handle Money issues. I am not trying to get to personal; just trying to do the right thing.
Guest stircrazy Posted June 30, 2008 Report Posted June 30, 2008 Every team handles this differently. Some charge up front which can scare off some players. Some charge monthly. Some charge a startup fee and then you pay by tournament. It all depends on what you have to buy. We pay a startup fee off about $100.00 on our 12u team. This covers uniforms and entries for a while. We pay at each tournament for umpires. A coach can get himself in a bind if you do not have a person in charge of collecting from each parent doing it this way. We have a great lady who takes care of this for us. She is not afraid to get the money. The best advice is to have EVERYTHING out in the open and write it down and have your parents SIGN IT. If a player quits then that money goes to the team. We also pay $60.00 once a year to help with our field upkeep. That is not enough . As a coach you will never get enough to cover equipment cost.
