Here is a question for you guys:
After 6 years as a HC at a inner-city school I have resigned and accepted another HC job at a more affluent school. At my old school I was essentially in charge of everything and our funds were very limited. At the new school we have a brand new 6.5 million facility, new jerseys, and a new 5 man sled. The parents are fired up, the kids are excited. Its awesome. The parents have also mentioned that they are ready to go for fundrasing. The AD has said that is fine, but rather than just fundraise for the sake of fundrasing we must have specific items we want.
As I wrote earlier, we have essentially everything we need.
Given that, what are some things you guys think we can add to a "wish list" to appease the athletic department and keep the parents happy as they continue to raise funds?
We are Hudl users, so that is one cost planned for.
We also will participate in passing leauges. But that can't be paid by the school.
Let the ideas roll and thank you.

How does your weight room look? That is the first area I would upgrade...

Locker room? Or a "war room" that you could set up for the staff when breaking down film, end zone camera, the list could be endless

I'll go +1 on the end zone camera. I didn't see anything about chutes. I'd like both a "tube" type lineman chute and an "agility" chute. This would only be after I was sure that the weight room was taken care of. I wouldn't put a lot of money into machines, though. Free weights are just a lot more versatile.

We do have a EZ camera on the way.
Love the idea about weight room expansion.
The idea about different shoots is nice as well.
Please keep them coming.

HD cameras. HD projectors. Weight room- kettlebells, war machines, medicine balls, balance balls. Sleds/prowlers, bungees.

Like the endzone camera. Couple of laptop computers for staff film breakdown, hudl uploads. New HD cameras for filming. Cowboy remotes for hudl. Meals for away games, travel suits and bags. Stereo for weightroom. Just a couple thought.

We have a brand new weight room think it ran 2 million. Pretty much all the gear we need if there was something we wanted ad would make it happen. I'm not a big fan of chutes or sleds. Like the endzone camara idea but we have a walking wounded do practice and have a man lift for games. The thing we do with our fundraising ( which is 100% handeles by the mothers club) is scholorships for seniors and pay our volunteer coaches.
As far as wish list crazy stuff like fly in Gibbs or mcnally for a consult. Mabey.fly down to Texas or Florida for a game.purchase the TFS just for scouting purposes. I don't know the more crap we get the more I think it was better when we had a dungeon for a gym and practiced on the baseball field bit that's just me.

Practice timer.
Find a way to build up your scouting program. Compensate scouts for mileage at above-market rates, etc. Large quantities of quality scout film is like gold.
