It seems like the school is “against” the team, but really it’s they are overwhelmed with running a school and juggling everything that goes along with that.

Thanks, sorry if I was ranting at the school system. I didn't really mean to. My mother had spent months in a thrift shop earning funds to the club. This was the only fundraising money that went to the school directly, and not into our teams "secret account". My mother asked to take the money out, the school staff wanted to know why. Mother wanted to put the cash into our account so we could access it easier. Eventually mother had to tell about our account separate from the school. Now the school won't give the money to us till the account is closed and they have all our earnings. My mother got stressed and felt it was her fault, and that our money source was ruined. I tend to get emotional when my family gets upset and I guess I'm blaming the school system for upsetting my mother. Again sorry, I'm certain the staff had it's reasons, I just needed an outlet to release my frustration at.
Thanks for the advice.
