Hi guys we have had some issues in our organization where our Board of Directors which is made up of all the Head Coaches from all the teams HS down to Atom plus a few parent reps.
Now the leagues we play in run the teams in terms of owning and handling equipment (all but the HS), they provide the teams with the general finances to run the team anything extra the teams have to get themselves. The leagues set the guidelines in terms of releases and such.
The league reps have come out and said it is awesome that you have an association we see it as a booster club you exist to help support the teams in anything extra they need. We are in an association because it makes sense to keep terminology, and development the same for players moving through the ranks. It also allows us to share field space, some on field equipment, and so on.
The issue is: what role would the board of directors for the association have? They want to have a say in operational matters, registration, coaches and so on. Any day to day football operations are run by the Head Coaches and Team Managers of the respective teams (this is mandated by the League's we play in)
So those of you who work deal with board of directors and or booster clubs what are their roles? What do they do? What are their boundaries?

Well, when I was a president of the local youth baseball league, our philosophy was pretty basic , the board runs the league and the coaches coach. So we we in charge of operations, reregistration, fundraising, consesions, officials, playing fields etc. The coaches were in charge of pretty much everything involving their team. We stayed out of that. Except when you have one of those rouge coaches. In the past, we have found that when coaches are on the board, things tend to get screwed up. They tend to make votes based on what's best for their current situation instead of the betterment of the league as a whole.
