that also harps back to your other statement on another post there sammy (a classic one, btw), about playing your part and bringing your talent to make the "team" better, instead of expecting the coach to do it all....
about the only payment I've cringed about in terms of my DD was select volleyball...from what they pay, we're living the yeoman's life...yowza! what a rip-off!
if she ever made a team that had that many demands for money (not team fee, but out of town expenses) we might have to come up with some creative ways to pinch, but I wouldn't want to say no because of finances
also, I think to actually drop a dollar amount out here, it's going to make others feel resentment (you only paid THAT, well I oughta...) or make others mock someone else (you pay THAT, you must be a fool!) keep it within your team and pray the day never comes where coaches/org start paying the GIRLS!!!
