And now we come to that most special time of year.....a time when a lax coach shakes down parents to attend his annual fundraiser for the HS program which is, of course, perfectly timed for just when tryouts are about to begin. No attempt to even hide the appearance of pay to play. So gross.....and he gets suck up fathers to run it all for him to boot. Must be nice, just show up and people hand you $$$.
Same thing in my town. They have mentioned and sent home flyers for the "fund raiser" at least 10 times in the last month and put a lot of pressure on the kids by giving them admissions tickets with there names that they are supposed to sell at $60 a piece. The clown that is running it isn't even affiliated with the program and has had major issues in the past in dealing with both youth players and parents.
There is an extra fee for anything that the team does and any gear they wear so I have no idea what this fund raising money is used for. The parents are always being asked to reach into there pockets.
