[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ll spill the tea—Alexandria is all about collecting 'donations.' It pretty much guarantees you a playing spot and a top spot on the coach’s pet list.[/quote]

Oh yeah the pressure they send to families for donation is unreal.[/quote]

We've been with Alexandria for years.  I have never felt "pressure" to donate to the club.  Their payment platform does make it easy, and they've always got an option at registration, for sure.  They also send out lots of club wide emails about events and donations.  But never have I had the impression playing time or a spot on a team was dependent on it.  Maybe I'm missing something.  Keep in mind, also, that this is a multi-million dollar [b]non-profit[/b] that runs rec leagues, futsal leagues, offers scholarships, maintains fields, etc.  It's not just your kid's team.  You should expect them to try to raise money.  [/quote]

I get a kick out of how some people think having non-profit status equates to being saintly and always in the best interest of others.

I am not saying ASA is not saintly or not above board, however not all non-profits are this way. Throwing out that an organization is non-profit, doesn't automatically make me give them the benefit of the doubt. Same as saying,  someone is a minister or regular church goer does not make me think,  they could never do no wrong.[/quote]
