Debt/Rollover Explanation:

Income and Revenue

Object Code Requested Recommended Final Description
Revenue-Membership Dues (-) $1,700.00 $1,700.00 $1,700.00

Fall Dues - $85/member (20 members) Fall dues are partially put towards any bus fees that go over the budgeted amount. With games in Ohio and West Virginia sometimes travel and games (we play 2 games A side and B side each weekend) take longer than the allocated time by the bus company.

25 towards league dues per person. Rest goes towards travel/lodging

Revenue-Membership Dues (-) $1,700.00 $1,700.00 $1,700.00

Spring Dues - $85/member (20 members) Spring dues are partially put towards housing accommodations. The amount of money that the school gives us for housing is not enough for anywhere decent at all. Last year we stayed at a Motel 6 at a reduced group rate and we still had to pay out of pocket. Other spring dues will go to other local tournament registration fees that are not annual, or referee fees for games scheduled in the Spring.

25 towards league dues per person. Rest goes towards travel/lodging

Revenue-Fundraising Income (-) $3,200.00 $3,200.00 $3,200.00

Average $400/month (8 months) - Sale of team gear through Boathouse Sports - Egg fundraiser - Team takeover (Wendy's)

$500 goes towards travel/lodging, $200 goes towards food/snacks for games

Sub-Total -$6,600.00 -$6,600.00 -$6,600.00

Referees - $100/game (10 games)

Salary-Instructors and Coaching (+) $1,000.00 $0.00 $0.00

Assistant Coach - 15+ years of experience - Runs weekly practices (2-3 practices/week @ 2 hours/practice) - Manages the team during games

Will be funded by athletics

Sub-Total $2,000.00 $1,000.00 $1,000.00

Equipment

Object Code Requested Recommended Final Description
Ops-Equipment Repair (+) $800.00 $500.00 $500.00

Rugby Balls - Due to intensive use our rugby balls will need to be replaced (e.g. broken bladders, loss of grip) - Training balls $30/ball (10 balls) - Pass developer $60/ball (5 balls) - Match balls $100/ball (2 balls)

Will fund half practice balls and all match balls

Ops-General Supplies (+) $500.00 $200.00 $200.00

Club sports has put an increased emphasis on safety, since we do not have the funding for CPR training they have asked us to keep medical kits with us at all times (during practice and at games), as in past years we have used on average 4 heavy duty rugby medical kits

On par with other organizations requiring first aid kits for next year

Capital Expense Fund (+) $480.00 $240.00 $240.00

Rucking Shields - Due to intensive use our rucking shields will need to be replaced (e.g. torn plastic exterior, interior stuffing loss) - The football team had given us tackle dummies that served a similar purpose, but due to the nature of the sport of football the interior of their tackle dummies included solid metal poles, which made them of no use to us in rugby where we do not wear pads - Rucking shields $120/shield (4 shields)

Will fund 2

Equip-Non-Capital Equipment (+) $240.00 $0.00 $0.00

Since rugby is not a well-known sport in the United States, we would like to buy 3 informational DVDs at $80 each, to teach the team more about the game and its history, and some famous players and matches. This will help to maintain our membership. A lot of new members get discouraged with their lack of knowledge on the game and a lot of the rules are difficult to understand without a visual aid. However the season is so close to the beginning of school that we do not have time to catch other players up, otherwise we will be unprepared for the games.

Youtube has great resources!

Ops-General Supplies (+) $256.00 $20.64 $20.64

Big emphasis on safety this year after all of our injuries in the past few years Ice - $16/bag (16 bags: 12 games 4 tournaments)

Save-Mor beer and pop has bags of ice for 1.29/bag

Ops-General Supplies (+) $360.00 $180.00 $180.00

Big emphasis on safety this year after all of our injuries in the past few years Pre-wrap - $8/roll (20 rolls) Medical tape - $10/roll (20 rolls) In past year pre-wrap is funded, while medical tape was not funded. Pre-wrap is used before applying (wrapping) medical tape. It is used as a form of injury prevention and is necessary for also prevention of certain common rugby injuries such as cauliflower ear in the front row position (the players who bump heads against the opposing team).

Look at Amazon.com for a good deal.
