Comp uniforms

souldrum71,

Special uniforms is a good idea but to get the parents to buy an application to compete is enough expense to overcome but the added expense of a special uniform would be prohibitive. I need to convince these kids, all of whom have the capabilities to compete. My mindset is that you need to jump in the water in order to swim.
Back in the day you could enter a tournment for $5-$10 now its $55. Now they need special equipment another $100. Monetarily I can empathize with the costs. In this case though - it is an opportunity to do all the comps in driving range.
I need ideas to sell this opportunity to my students & parents.

Thanks,
Tom
