Some coaches have already called their Superintendents and demanded districts allow booster pay.
Some coaches have already banded together across their districts and pushed for higher supplements.
The legislation is working exactly the way it was intended to work and it was signed less than a week ago.
Stop being the coach who runs to social media complaining about not having a booster club. Start being the coach who builds relationships with parents and the community to create one.
Stop saying your district would “never” increase supplements if you have not even scheduled a meeting with your Superintendent to hear it directly from them.
You have 2 choices:
Fight for your worth or sit there and accept what you are given.

In the stands, a H.S. parent complains to anyone who will listen that his kid isn't playing much.
Another parent: "Team is 15-2, Top 5 in the state, winning the league."
Response: "I don't care about that."
And there you have it.
For some parents, it's never about the team.
The law to help raise pay for extracurricular high school leaders, like coaches, goes into effect on July 1 in Florida. The big question now for area school districts is how to pull it off. https://t.co/S2kFC16eZh
High school football is a crazy place right now.
Some kids care more about the graphic announcing their transfer than the actual team they’re transferring to.
lol this is so dumb. We all buy our kids food and give them rides but I don’t have 15k to do it. This basically says, “you can spend more than what you make on your players.” Gee thanks
NEW: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed Senate Bill 178 (Teddy Bridgewater Act) into law.
