Inga, a former team manager for the Lasers soccer team, has written a letter to parents of the team, stating that managing youth sports in the pre-internet, pre-cellphone era was more difficult. The team is short of money due to an automatic deduction from their account on the last day of the month for Coach Trevor's salary. The league has provided a $200 bond for State Cup, but warns that if they do a no-show, they will have to pay them back or face consequences too dire to even mention. Inga also notes that the team has paid both the entry fee to the Irvine Harvest Cup and State Cup but has no direct access to their funds. The letter concludes that the best way to reach out to parents is to call the team manager.
