Is there a formal Parents Club and fundraising?
The team does have a parents’ club although it is not as active as other teams. Generally the organization helps to run several meets that are run here at Crenshaws. Most of the parents are opposed to burdening their child with lots of additional fundraising. The Spinner Invitational, a very large boys home meet in February, is the largest source of team income. The money from this meet guarantees that all entry fees and coaches expenses are paid for the boys and girls for State, Regionals and Nationals. This usually amounts to $60-75 per child per meet. At nationals, it can mean savings of over $500+ per child.
