Curious of what people think
5th grade tackle football in Georgia
$550 for 8 game season as a player + various intangibles (cleats, practice pants, etc) rough layout of $750.00 per kid. I have 2 kids.
Everything is volunteer. Food is purchased by the high school team and we reimburse the high-school for what we sell at the games - profit.
Last year we carried forward after all expenses $57,000. We collected $14,000 in gate receipts. We have assets of $101,000.
The question is :
SHOULD WE BE CHARGING A $5 ADMISSION FEE TO THE FAMILIES OF THE PLAYERS?
Please respond with reason for your answer

I personally don't think admission should be charged for pee-wee football, especially if it costs so much to play. The families would be basically be held hostage in such a situation, either they let their kid down, or you force them to pay $5 to watch a product they likely wouldn't if not for their child's involvement.
Also, this thread is more appropriate for the lounge than the main dolphins forum.MrClean likes this. -

I don't think that anyone should ever be charged to see kids younger than high school play sports. Ever.
