So I was just informed that the hefty booster club fee I will be paying next year (several hundred dollars on up, depending on level) does NOT cover meet entry fees or coaches' meet fees and travel expenses, as I had believed. These are charged separately, as are uniform expenses. I cannot get any information on what this general booster club fee does include other than a vague mention of "equipment," which seems to me as if it ought to be covered in the tuition since the gym, not the booster club, owns the equipment. Is it normal for booster clubs to charge fees above and beyond competition expenses? And is there any legal requirement for a nonprofit booster club to open its books to members?
