The manager should give you a breakdown on the expenses. A spreadsheet is NOTHING to make. It IS a lot of money to spend, and you should know where it goes. I've heard it's required of managers, but I've never noticed it in print. To me, it's common sense so never sought it out in guidelines. Parents have a right to know where there money is spent, it's a f-load of money. Sounds like $23K acceptable, but the manager needs to let you know where the money goes. $1300 for coaches gifts times number of kids divided by number of coaches sounds like a lot, but could be acceptable if mgr broke down expenses[/size]. Most managers get the crap end of the stick and pay out of pocket too many times but, when we're throwing out $23K+ on our little 12Us, we want to know where the money goes. That said, I've only had 1 other manager do that for the team. It just depends on your manager and team as to whether that's acceptable for you. I think you took a lot of crap for your posts because of way they came out, but both posts were valid questions IMO.
