    Eliminating a Booster Club

    Thanks! Thanks! We (the parents) are not wanting to eliminate the booster club. The owners are threatening this because they know people are not happy with how it is run. So, they said that they will just do away with it so that everyone has to pay for everything out of their pocket and then...

    Eliminating a Booster Club

    I was wondering if anyone knows of the proper procedures to eliminate a booster club? I am guessing that it would have to be voted on my all members and that the owners of a gym would have no say in this...is this true? Or, can owners of a gym decide to eliminate the booster club themselves? amom

    How are percentages determined? Okay, we've been researching some more and this leads me to more questions. Is it true that to maintain a non-profit status a $1000 maximim is to be reserved for the next competitive year and no more than that? Also, who sets the percentages as to how money...

Are there any that are good, great or any that we would should run away from? My dd is a level 5 and...

    Thanks Everyone! Thanks everyone for all of your replies. The saga continues and we are looking into ways to resolve this. Most are looking for a coach and a facility that we can all move to together. At this point, I just want to be anywhere but in this current gym. The bottom line is that...

    I like that idea as well of running and ad. I wish there was a gym looking to set up a satelite program or an individual wanting to open a gym somewhere. We have said all along that a satelite type program would be perfect. Parents do pay dues into an account. The primary way that you can...

    I think you are right with much of what you said. We broke it down these past few days and this is how I think they are doing it. They are assessing extra fees right and left and using booster club money for meet overheads and putting the fee money back into the booster club. In other words...

    Thank you so much! I am glad I am really not crazy...this really is not right! I like the idea of just going out on our own. Finding a coach in this area may be a challenge though. As far as a college to workout at - the University only has a club team and they workout at our gym. In fact...

    I am not conviced either. We do not write a different check for the rental. (rental cost was just increased by the way.) It comes out of the booster club expenses. It is shown as an expense for the meet. It does go item buy item for the expenses. Another question is: how much do coaches or...

    I know that a couple of families have paid one of the coaches for private lessons specifically for that purpose of teaching them new skills. In general, they are very defensive and act as though we do not know what we are talking about and that they know what they are doing and that is that...

    Yes, I see what you are saying. They have said that they make money at the facility in general. They said it is not as much as people would think though. We all think they are pocketing some of the coaches expenses at the very least. The owners do the books for the booster club and a staff...

    Yes, you are right. I think the coaching is a MAJOR issue to all of the parents. The girls are only coached at their level and really aren't challenged. Most of the girls recently went to a camp together and after just one week they were miles ahead of where they started. All learned numerous...

    You have it perfectly right! They do not care about the gymnastics and only about the money. It is all about the money. Most of the parents have never even met the owners. Our prices are very high for what we get. The coaches are safety certified but not what I would call professional coaches...

    I am interested in getting your input on a situation at our gym. Here are the facts: There are about 40 gymnast in the team program. There are three coaches. Really no professional coaches and 2 are college girls which will be leaving when they are done with school. The price we pay per year is...
