Over the winter, a couple parents sponsored clinics for the boys that were trying out for the Chaminade JV team. The JV coaches ran the clinics. I understand that the announcement for the first set of clinics was posted on a school bulletin board. I think the announcement for the second session was emailed to a smaller subset of the boys. This was great for the boys who participated, because the coaches got to know them, and they learned the drills that were going to be used in the tryouts. However, some of the boys did not attend because: 1) they played winter sports; 2) they did not find out about the clinics; or 3) they could not afford the clinics (around $300 total, plus "donations" to the coaches). Two questions:
1) Do parents at other schools do something similar?
2) Are there rules for this type of activity?
Sounds like a nightmare. When you say a few parents "sponsored" these clinics, exactly what does "sponsoring" entail? Can we assume that the boys of the parents who "sponsored" these clinics were all safely on the call back email for the 2nd clinic?
