When do you expect to get your new team budget ?

[Krush Softball]

For all those parents who request to see a budget at the beginning of the season, or at the end, Don't!!!! The fact that you don't trust the coaches who run these teams and want to see just how every penny is spent, is a big slap in the face.

Each pre season, countless hours are spent getting practice fields, uniform quotes, equipment quotes, setting up practices, friendly's, and tournaments. Then when there aren't quite enough funds to cover all the expenses at the end of the season, who do you think gets stuck with the tab.

Bottom line is if you don't like the upfront cost's and the monthly due's, and feel you're money isn't being spent wisely during the season, start a F-ing team yourself.

I just might, and I'll serve granola bars and sodie pop to the kids and parents. ahahahahahaaaaa

Some teams will do ANYTHING to draw kids to tryouts, other than have good coaches that is.

Let us know when your tryouts are. I'm up for some sodie pop and granola bars. And I look forward to the excellent coaching too.

What's up with you Ben?
I'm starting to think you are just bored and trying to get a rise out of people...
Basically every reply except yours are saying they don't care if they see a budget as long as they like the team.
So either everyone is ignorant, and you are the voice of reason....
or...

Oh, he's the quintessential troll, make no mistake. ALL of his posts are designed to get a rise--including this entire thread, which is nothing but a rehash of a topic fully discussed elsewhere just a few weeks ago.

But he's an entertaining troll at times, because he actually fancies himself as clever. It's slow on the Bucket these days. His fumbling attempts to one-up his betters is amusing to watch...or at least more amusing than the tedious "Looking for a Scholarship? Join Timbuktu 16U!" fare that predominates right now.

There is no way this clown has a kid playing travel. There isnt a legit team out there that would put up with him and he wouldnt be able to contain himself long enough to get through a season without outing himself as the parent from hell, so my money is on rec ball malcontent and castoff.

Poor kid (if he has one).

Not a single legit reason given. What would it take, 30 minutes? Another free pass to the manager/coach by the herd. PATHETIC

Still just

1) PITA
2) WaaWaaWaa
3) Name calling
4) Personal attacks
5) Assumptions on sideline behavior

I did receive a pre-season budget, and I didn't even look at it. I figured if the coach thought it was fair then it was. This is my first year in travel softball, however; I managed a travel baseball team for 5 years. I estimate it cost me in the neighborhood of $10,000. There were many who couldn't pay in these tough times so I paid for them. I never shared this in my statements. There were no budgets, because I paid for everything outside of tournaments. I'm sure this goes on to some extent in softball as well. The truth is if you really want a budget offer to be the treasurer, and make the fu**ing budget yourself!

hmmm, you've only made 5 posts in the last week skarp, all in THIS THREAD. I'm not a troll, but if I was I'd say you've been paying a mighty handsome toll.

jefe , are you actually "dishing" this time, or are you going to later claim you just made a simple statement?

Oh, you better give your moms water-pik back, her mouth is starting to smell................
