[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was the TM for our travel team for 3 years and used TeamSnap. Whatever parents put in there, which wasn't a lot. The only other thing was tournament waivers which often included the pediatrician's name/phone number and sometimes health insurance information. This happened mostly last season due to COVID.  Once the tournament was over, I shredded the waivers.[/quote]

And I had zero idea on who was on scholarship or not. My spouse was on the board of another youth sports club and the board level obviously knew; the boards are usually parent volunteers too.[/quote]

I have been a team manager at 2 diff clubs, one I knew who the scholarship families were, one I did not. If you are dealing with team finances at all you will have this information.

The manager typically has name/dob/address(sometimes multiple with split families)/phone/email/birth certificate/medical waiver. Depending on club/league sometimes other parents help with state registration/rostering and get that info too. I kept all the forms in a binder and shredded the paper at the end of the season.

Were the scholarship players subsidized by the other families on that team or by the club itself?

The club funds the annual fees (i.e. the 3k a year). They may or may not cover additional fees like travel to and from games, tournament fees etc. Most probably don't cover those 'extras; but many clubs do regular fundraisers to have these extra funds for those who need it.... [/quote]

Scholarship players are subsidized by the club not the team, there was also an extra amount provided by the club to cover those players tournament fees which are usually collected by the TM as a generic team fee where everyone pays X amount. The scholarship players had some of that amount covered and paid extra for the difference.[/quote]
