As I sat and listened to the conversation, it was clear that protecting the tax payers who paid for a field house was a consideration.
I guess I should take the same attitude regarding all the volleyball equipement CIViC pays for or Carroll players work to purchase. Carroll uses a CIViC net system worth $3,000, over 70% of the balls we use all year are CIViC balls, the jump boxes are CIViC, most of the carts and bags are CIViC, as well as the video system. Yet much of what we heard is that the tax payers need protected. I guess I should take that same attitude toward the depreciation of the CIViC equipment we use for Carroll.
I wonder what the volleyball taxpayers think about spending more money for their kids to play club? It has been suggested to charge the Carroll families less as their taxes paid for the field house. I have always thought that seemed so unfair, but we might revisit that prior to next club season.
It is interesting to consider that our sport has access to the same number of courts that we did prior to the field house construction. Heck, there were several thousand dollars of sleeves placed in the main gym that we have not used since since the "new" floor was done.
As you travel around to play at the various sites in the NCIPL, please consider that no other site, other than Pioneer who pays custodial fees on Sunday, pays to use their gym. Not Blue River Valley, not Southwood, not Jay County, not Momentum club out of Taylor University, not the the Lincoln club, not Winamac, not Delta Jrs., not Manchester, not Peru, not a single club.
It all just just seems so petty and I am not interested in being like that.
