Managing a Soccer Program
In any case, ask your A.D. for your school’s fund-raising guidelines. Each school, district
and state has rules and regulations that govern school trust accounts and booster
clubs. You can avoid potential problems by being aware of these regulations, most of
which concern proper authorization and paperwork.
Don’t use your own money to pay for the needs of your Soccer program expecting to
be reimbursed later with income from fund-raising. Many fund-raisers are unsuccessful
and often raise far less money than anticipated.
