Long story short. Gym is VERY new. It's been open only about a year. This year our team is very small. Only 7 girls. We also have a newly formed booster club (6 moms total) who have been fundraising like crazy. We have raised a significant amount of money since September. Next season we will have several girls moving up to compete at L3. As a mom, who had NO clue what competitive gym involved or the money it would take, I feel like before you are invited to be part of the team, you should be able to get a clear view of what your year is going to look like. I realize that a lot of this falls on the head coach and that we as a club don't really have any control over a meet schedule, but if the coach is willing I would like to be able to hand each parent a meet schedule with x amount of dollars in entry fees listed, plus estimated coaches expenses, booster club by-laws, scheduled fundraisers, etc.
We are still sort of evolving as a booster club. We know we can't exclude a child as far as funds go. It has to benefit everyone. I'm also fairly sure we can't require anyone to fundraise, but how do your gyms set up booster club participation. Is it mandatory, strongly encouraged, or completely voluntary?
How does your gym work?
