I'm close to going crazy here My daughter's on 2nd Year 12A team. We are in an origanization, it seems to offer nothing but name recognition. The org is not a 501c3. The excuse they gave the coach is that teams change too often and even if the teams stay, the coaches may change, so it's too difficult for them to do it. A couple parents on the team have discouraged the coach from gaining the status on our own as they said it's so much work, and too much trouble. Is it really that much trouble when a majority of teams who play at a higher level in the area seem to have the nonprofit status? I'm not sure everyone is aware of the opportunities we miss by not being registered. We are currently planning a poker night, which we are required to seek donations for. I just see the girls getting shut down over and over when asking for donations since businesses won't be able to write it off. Any ideas, words of wisdom, etc? Thanks
