The funds raised through Bingo help to reduce tournament fees and
subsidize player travel expenses and training camps. The club offsets the cost of travel through a donation to each
player on the traveling team. The cost
of a trip is typically calculated by dividing the total
expenses by the number of players attending::
The club normally contributes $1,000 off the top. The remainder of the expenses are divided by
the number of players attending.
Costs may be further reduced (prior to the division amongst the players
if we are able to get any grants. In
past these have been provided by:
Keeping this in mind, we appreciate your support in Easter Bunny Sale,s
which we do in return support for the Lions Clu,b as well as occasional highway
clean-ups of litter.
In addition, the club helps to
subsidize players who attend training camps that are offered throughout
Ontario. These amounts are determined
per case and are dependent upon the fees for the camp. We want to ensure that the process remains
as fair as possible; to give as much financial support as is realistic for the
club’s financial situation, which will change from year to year. Our priority is to the athletes and their
ability to participate in this sport at a reasonable cost. Should you have any questions regarding
funding and travel expenses, please speak with your
coach, or a member of the executive.
When athletes participate in one-day
tournaments, close to home, rides are usually organized on an informal basis
between the parents and the coach. It
is expected that parents will negotiate with each other any costs for gas (i.e.
chip in for gas money). At times,
however, a coach will ask a parent to assist with driving to a tournament
across Ontario. In these situations,
the club will help reimburse for gas expenses.
