If these teams/schools (or clubs) contract with a brand like Adidas, for example, the brand gives them an annual merchandise credit for the length of the contract and then renegotiated again when the contract is renewed. The credit value is meaningful. Not enough to outfit a roster, but always enough for gear for HCs and ACs. This is standard.

A few parents confronted the AD about it in previous seasons but nothing substantial was done about it. It’s occurring again this year with said coach appearing with all new customized apparel for this coach. Many parents help raise and contribute to these funds which are supposed to be for the team. Last year it was requested to have a full transparent accounting of the funds, but it was never provided. The coach stated at a public meeting a total BS answer about where the funds were spent and nobody did anything about it. The school just ignored the complaints but it was evident that the coach was at least partially confronted about the use or it wouldn’t have come out in the meeting. Is this a common practice in Loudoun high school sports? These teams are already poorly funded by the schools and any money raised should be transparent and used for player benefit. Wouldn’t you agree?

I don't understand. Custom apparel for himself/herself? Or custom apparel for the team? Like custom uniforms and helmets and the like? That stuff is inherently custom made.

Parents raise money… they see 10 new soccer balls and cones at practice and coach on teacher salary had brand new gear every game.
Schools have deals with brands not teams so anything the coach is getting is through the Athletic director, if he/she is being handed the money raised by the families (that’s stupid) but maybe in order for the team to play well, they need to see a coach decked out in new gear each game.

If you look good, you play good. If you play good, they pay good

How much custom gear are we talking here? A pair of cleats and a couple of warm up suits? Are the players getting these things too?

DR has “DR” on his gear, but players have their initials on their’s as well.

There are other teams in the county that don’t even have fundraisers and are fine. Coach probably had way more money than he needed and bought custom threads for himself AND the players. All of this gets approved by the Principal and AD, and it’s not like the coach is hiding any of it.

Make the account public for all schools and all teams. The players didn’t see a dime.
