Blog #14
I really like the CBL portion of this course, it's something that I am very passionate about and although it didn't make the content of the course more meaningful to me I enjoyed the outside learning. It would have made the course material more meaningful if my CP was more involved in outside government and things that have to do with it but since its a small youth sport's organization it is run by the volunteers that put their time in and has not much to do with state or local government, mainly its own. Some things it did help me to understand on a government level better thought, it put things into different terms that made it easier to learn and I really enjoyed that.

The governor doesn't interact with my CP at all. He or she could possibly make an impact with my CP is regulations that could either help or hurt my CP were passed but other than that there is no government interaction at all.

My CP isn't constitutionally mandated. It is run all by volunteers that raise money and find the spaces to hold the activities. There is nothing to regulate the continuation of the program in this area.

No my CP does not have the authority to raise funds through taxation. There is no ways that my CP is associated with taxing at all. The coaches are all volunteer so the money that goes into the program is directly given to the athletes by purchasing gear or offsetting travel costs and whatever else becomes needed.

My CP does rely on different donors to give money to help pay for certain things for the athletes. All athletes pay a registration fee and they pay for most gear that they receive. We do get money donated from different local businesses and/or families that might pay for all the athletes bags, or gloves for the football players and pom poms for the cheerleaders. All money that is donated it split up evenly amongst the teams and the coaches decide what to do with it. We also do a lot of fundraising to offset the costs that the athletes must pay for gear and other things that are needed so that everyone has a fair chance to participate and that money isn't the thing stopping them.

My CP uses a type of "judicial" process to resolve problems within the organization, we have a board that the Athletic Directors of cheer and football serve on as well as sue coaches and other volunteers. These are the people that approve anything and everything that goes on within the Bayside Broncos organization. Any fundraiser or activity that wants to be done must be ran through the board that meets twice a month and they must okay it. Any conflict that is brought up will go to the board and they will handle it accordingly. Nothing to my knowledge, or my AD's knowledge, has ever happened where the board has had to take "judiciary" action against someone so I don't really know how it would work, but it is ran as sort of a "government" with a President, V.P., Secretary, and Treasurer so I'm assuming it would be based the same way as maybe a school government would run.
