Re: Do Non-School Teams Have An Advantage?

I guess the optimal situation is the blend of the two. We are a school team and have a parent-run 501c3 booster club. There are benefits that we derive from each that are almost equally as important as the other. From the school we are provided a great facility which is well maintained and free. We get financial support that is utilized when it is not time-essential (entry fees, general supplies etc.)

From the 501c3 money we have instantaneous access to money without restrictions. The boosters also continue to raise money should a new need arise, whereas the school only provides a set budget each year and money has to be spent wisely.

Each of the two programs has its benefits and drawbacks. Most teams are unable to choose which of the two they would like to have, however, they could have both if they set their minds to it.
