[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And yet clubs still cannot meet in person.  The jocks get TJ see each other, but nerds are stuck on BBC. [/quote]

Why can’t your child contact others in the club to get together outside of school?  I am club sponsor and this is volunteer. I’m not paid and I’m not working in the building. I can’t drive there to organize a group on my own time. I don’t have time right row since I’m busy with my own young kids that are home. As a parent, there is nothing stopping you from organizing a social event for your kids that doesn’t involve school. [/quote]

There is such a disconnect among elementary parents who don’t understand what a high school club is. Take, for example, the dance team. In FCPS, gymnastics and cheer are “sports”, but dance team, who compete on a national level, are not. They dance at football and basketball games, but can’t practice because they are not a sport. “Who is stopping them” is FCPS. Their coach is a paid contract employee, not a “volunteer”, who cannot violate FCPS guidelines. They get no booster money and have to fundraiser at 100% for costumes, competition fees, etc. Oh, but the kids are required to get a sports physical. Crew is also a club, so technically they can only do conditioning on the field. Not really what crew is about. But cheer is a sport. Come on, FCPS. [/quote]

Crew is a club at our school but they are meeting and conditioning.  Coaches are paid contract employees but at this point most of them are doing this for free. This is outside what they are contracted to do. I’m not really sure what your point is with your post.

Clubs can meet. It’s all about where there’s a will there’s a way.
