WOW, I didn't know it to be so complicated. I was approached by a local AAU organization and they are holding a Summer league that will involve 360 teams, some of the organization becuase of conflicts and lack of man power can not supply enough qualified officials. So I was approached by the person who runs the league and wanted to know if we, meaning a number of officials that work number of games to get together and would we be interested to officiate a number of gyms. So in a nutshell I had inquired with my fellow officials and they all said yes. Now the league is asking for a contract from us and I have no idea where to begin. this is and may be a one time shot and will not require the process of incorporating, opening bank accounts and etc. I guess it's not worth the agrivation. To top it off. We approached the other organization and they wanted all kinds of dues, memberships, % of pay and by the time we got done we the officials were getting nothing for the game fee. So I thought what would it take to just start a small association and keep it floating and use it when needed. I guess nothing is easy. So we have some serious issue to discuss. I also don't want to be in any conflict with my present association. since that is my bread and butter.
I thank you all for your input.
