Team Structure Help

[Sperkowsky]

Hello all,

Our team has run into a lot of issues with club structure and I figured I would get your help on this.

To start we have about 3 kids who come almost every day 5-6 that come conistantly twice a week ish. and then 10-15 that come once a month. Plus we have 30 or so people that have come in once ate our food and left.

We are from a small sports heavy district. 90% of our team does a sport or 2. Our team president did track, cross county and tennis, I do competitive gymnastics, and another one of our every day members does competitive rock climbing just to name a few. What happens is people join or team thinking of it as a little club they can show up once and put on their college application.

We also had issues with elections. 2 of our 4 club officers showed up less then 10 hours throughout the whole build season and one of them didnt even go to one day of the competiton.

They are nice people they just dont see it as a comitment.

We also have issues with people coming on day 1 and then getting scared off by rules and people talking.

the other big issue is overcrowding of the pit. We have new members who never have showed up show up the competition and crowd the pit instead of going up to the stands. When I say anything to our mentor hes says everyone needs to feel included which I understand but there has to be boundries.

We need help on team organization, member retention, getting new members, making people realize its a big comitment, holding people acountable, and establising boundries.
