I have a problem with parents that don't pay simply because they would rather shop at Nordstroms and know someone else will pay for their kids. In my sons football program (the best school in the district) ultimately we don't require kids to pay. The district gives very little money to football. We ask for fees and if the family doesn't pay there is opportunity to work off the fees or fundraise. I have no problem with that. What you don't get is there would be more money to pay for sports if the state wasn't paying for all the other programs. Can't parents buy their kids a piece of fruit, cereal, and sandwich for breakfast and lunch? I sacrifice for my kids to have things and teach them about the things that really matter. I volunteer at their activities to show them what they do is important. It's these same parents who don't want to pay that flake out on showing up for their snack bar duty or think they simply don't have an obligation to help the program.
Rack that! But, I think we must consider how most of these poor kids come from dysfuctional homes. Expecting heads of those households to support their children in ANYTHING would be asking for a miracle.
Rack the kids who love the game enough to go at it all alone without mom or dad in the stands or generally giving two shits about anything they do. I think those kids have more desire and love for the game than all the "Conners, Coopers, Hunters, and Taylors" who have been poked and prodded and had all the support in the world including money from vacuous parents who think they got the next Brett Farve or Derek Jeter in the mini-van and use the kids' games to network and use socio-economic clout to lobby for more playing time for their brats.
