School-based teams are subject to all school rules governing teams/clubs (whichever the school decides they are), and would necessarily need to follow all school policies in the team rules.
Community: The primary sponsor is NOT a school or district or group affiliated with a school. For example, the 4-H teams would generally be considered community teams. These teams draw from multiple schools and sometimes multiple districts; they are not bound by school rules per se. That makes setting policies a little more difficult, but they can be a little looser. But it is extremely important to set the policy correctly... and in line with whatever organization may be the primary sponsor.

Ok. The general idea of the difference was my natural guess, but now I see the importance of a constitution and/or specific bylaws for a community team as opposed to a school-based one. I didn't really consider the difference in rules inside and outside of a school. Thanks.
