Hi guys. I have a booster club question I'm hoping someone on here can answer. In light of the new court ruling pertaining to booster clubs, how does your gym/booster club handle parents who refuse to participate?
Our gym requires parents to work at least 1 session of each meet we host (currently, we host 2--one compulsory and one optional). They don't inflict any sort of penalty for parents who refuse to help make the meets successful and up until this season, the 'penalty' had come from the booster club (we would allocate any profit made on the meet via a point system; the more sessions one worked, the more money they would have credited to their gym account). However, it appears this new court ruling will disallow that (in other words, all profit has to be distributed evenly across the team, even if one set of parents worked every session and another set didn't lift a finger).
I hope there is a way to handle these freeloader parents (perhaps through the gym instead of the booster club?) because I don't want to see my daughter's gym host an unsuccessful meet simply because too few parents cared enough to get involved.
