What am I still doing in Florida? My husband just went to sign up the boys in baseball. The baseball park is desperatly looking for a few head coach. But Money Money Money, that's all S Florida thinks about. My husband signs up and always has. We take on the wonderful responsibility of teaching and helping kids, along with dealing with the parents and other coaches form other teams etc.... WE bring snacks and water for all games. We provide practices for the kids and we actually teach them how to play ball. Why do we need to pay $75.00 to be a coach plus $25.00 for the exam for every season, not to metion the child enrollment fee of $125.00 (not even a discount since your a coach) and this does not include a trophy. We want to serve our community by helping children stay off the streets, but can not afford the cost to coach. There is also $250 sponsor fee. What is wrong with this picture?
