| A parent is asking others to chip in to give recreational basketball team parent volunteer coach end of season gift card. We meet once a week for game and once a week for practice like 6 weeks. This is our first season, how much do normally people chip in? We have like 10 players. |

In my experience, most families do $20.
Coach puts in time beyond what you see on the court. |

Send an email, directly to the person, not a reply all, and ask how much people typically contribute. They will often give a direct answer. Tell them it is your first season. I’ve found what is customary varies by team and sport.
If they don’t give an answer, personally I would give $20. |

| I've seen everywhere from $15 to $50 from families when I do this (which is most seasons, usually for multiple teams for my multiple kids). |

Our basketball team is doing the same. I donated $30. It is a huge time commitment to give up every single weekend (most players miss a practice/game or two for various reasons, our coach never does).
When I coordinated for the soccer coach, people gave anywhere from $5 to $35. |

We do $25 since it’s just a bit more than the standard.
More importantly, I also volunteer as a coach. |
