Hi boys and girls,
The budget for floorball for 2008 has largely been channelled to court booking, your seniors and those who took part in the 2008 season had funded their coaching fees through paying cash from Jan-Mar 2008 before making use of edusave or cash to fund coaching fees from Mar-Jul 2008.
I regret that the edusave scheme for this current batch can only start to kick-in in Jan 2009. Therefore, whatever payment that is required now will be cash. The EXCOs and myself have worked out the sums. Other than the current collection, there will probably be one last collection of $10-$15 for the rest of the 2008. Come next year, you either contribute a one-time payment of $100 from your edusave or cash. (exception are those who already paid this year but did not make the cut for the last 20)
In my opinion, I think its fair for the whole team to pay an equal amount regardless if you miss training due to some reasons. It also makes the whole accounting process easier. Besides, for example if I have a team of 30, 15 members go missing and dont pay, the burden will be shouldered by the remaining 15. So, the 15 still around will pay more (double). Say another week where the the roles are switched, 15 go away, the 15 who are around now will have to shoulder the whole amount. In the long run, total payment per player works out to be the same.
I really do not wish to penalise players for attending training. Imagine if I have only 1 committed player and the rest of 29 go away. Should that 1 player pay $100 every week and the 29 pay $0? If this is the case, we might as well close shop. This may be an extreme case but I hope you can see my point.
I have already requested for extra budget to pay whatever court booking we will have the remaining of 2008 (a couple of thousand dollars). I really seek your understanding regarding this matter.
Please see me if you have any concerns.
