First year high school coach. I'm new to the area, and I got left a mess. Last year's team finished dead last in the state. We don't have a functioning L screen, most baseballs are old, no real indoor facility to speak of (it was 18 degrees this morning), and the team hadn't done any fundraising in at least the past 3 years, probably much longer. We held a mushball tournament, made around 850ish. Got the signatures from the players that I needed to get 2 L screens and some other training...

If the high school plays under the regulations of the state high school athletic association I suggest getting a copy of fundraising regulations and discuss with the people above you at the school and district. I would bring up making the team as competitive as possible being good for developing the self esteem of the players. Add: It’s the Arizona Interscholastic Association

I’ve tried. I’m on Navajo Nation. It seems like he isn’t able to help and it all stops at the business office.

What county are you in? Is your Athletic Director open to discussing the rules with you?

I’ll give that a shot. Thanks!

Yes we can take donations. I'm trying to contact some teams in the area, but it's pretty rural.

That's a great idea. Now to find the right contacts. Thanks! I'll start reaching out.

Can you take donated equipment? Would that get around the policy?

You're in AZ, I've got to believe with the right contacts you can get some hand me downs from the MLB spring training facilities - certainly an L-Screen. Your situation seems like one they'd jump on supporting.

Casino is a great idea, there is one nearby in Gallup. I just checked, looks like they are filming further north in Monument Valley but I can still try to ask. Thanks!

#newtothis: Are they filming "DARK WINDS" near to you? Robert Redford [The Natual] is a Producer. Also the Casino may be able to donate. Your team could offer their help. Bob
