Ok guys/gals, this is a very long story but I am going to try to keep it pretty short.
I am an assistant coach for Campbell Memorial High School Bowling team (in Campbell Ohio). We break the three coaches into 3 slots......one works with the girls varsity, one with boys JV and I coach the boys varsity.
In Ohio high school bowling is still considered a club sport. We get absolutely not support from the school. The varsity boys won their district last year and it was not even acknowledged by the school.
The person that is actually titled head coach paid for the entire team's shirts out of his pocket last year. Some of the kids paid back the money they owed him, some of the others just did not have the means to do so. They did some fund raising (bowl-a-thon) but this money went to the banquet for the team.
Many of the area schools pay their coaches, Campbell does not. We coach because we love the sport, the kids and to help assure the future of the game.
As you can see the kids pretty much ran the entire team themselves as far as fundraising. What I am doing now is trying to help them. I know most of you are not from the area and have no ties to the school, but I am reaching out to everyone.
I have been told we are allowed to have a business sponsor the team, or even a group of businesses. So if you are able and willing to help support this team please message me and I will get in touch with you.
Thank you for reading this, and thank you for your support.
