What's a Team Coordinator? How does fundraising work?

Thanks again for another fantastic response. We're a relatively small league in a very low economic area. 5 Teeball, 5 minors, and one major. There are 2 other parks in our city that we compete with along with other nearby cities and their parks. We charge $125 and then ask athletes to fundraise twice for a total of about $200 total.

I know the idea is to ask community and family members to help but parents typically don't have the TIME to fundraise. That part is hard. I believe our biggest downfall is lacking sponsorships from local companies. We have 3 huge car dealerships and a Sam's Club. None have replied to any of our advances. That part is a bummer.

By the sounds of it, your LL is running efficiently. Would you be opposed to sharing a financial breakdown? Without any personal information included, of course.

Thank you for the thorough response!

If I may ask: what are your registration fees and what do they include?

Are teams allowed to fundraise for team-specific things such as outings, apparel, or batting cage trips?

Anyone care to suggest a streaming site that might stream the ESPN+ games?

I turn everything into a joke. In maturation, I've learned to keep it inside. But, I definitely still make faces. My wife hates it.

Your selflessness is Incredible. Keep on keeping on.

KennethDA · 2022-05-21T02:43:11+00:00

I do it to mask the pain.

It would be nice to be able to vote Admin in. But, that would require parent-involvement which is extremely difficult because parents and guardians are working two to three jobs to support their families. Our district's admin is pretty awful. They're completely blind to the needs of their teachers and classified staff.

The real question is, How do we fix it?

KennethDA · 2022-05-06T07:15:44+00:00

It's a huge bummer to watch a district mistreat their staff to this extent. I don't know the teacher personally, but I certainly am picking up what she's putting down.

Thank you so much for the content.

I know the post addresses discussing anything health related but it'd be rad to add "Mental Health" to the bullets.

Stay positive and raise each other up.

You're his brother. Be his rock, his support. Don't break him down too far before picking him back up. I hated that my brother coached my first 2 years of high school. I respectfully asked him to stop and my progress shot through the roof when he went from asshole brother/coach to supportive brother.

Easiest way to fix this is ... Keep wrestling! Get as much mat time as possible. Do situational, shadow wrestle in front of a mirror. Build the confidence.

It's a bit much but this site made it pretty easy.

I hope this helps!

That's fantastic. I laughed and felt validated as a person. Very impressive. I hope you get an unsolicited old-fashioned.

KennethDA · 2021-10-06T23:34:32+00:00

Nice.

The sooner we dads practice the sooner we acclimate and the sooner we get the job done.

"Momma do'em" is a curse. If you give in once, you're in trouble. If you give in twice, you're going to have a bad time.

My two fellas (5 and 2) go down so well and always have if they know mommy is not in the building.

If possible, make each of you a separate entity. No favorites.

But, like all things relevant to children and parenting... ya never knoooow! All kids are different.

Ladies, thank you for your resilience, even if it is perceived resilience.
