Take advantage of the Model inheritance provided by polymodel.PolyModel to have Club, School, Sponsor, and Organization actually inherit from the Group Model class, rather than being composed via ReferenceProperties.

  """Information common to Program participation for all Roles.

  Role is the entity that is created when a Person actually participates
  in some fashion in a Program.  Person details could *possibly* be collected
  without actual participation (voluntary, opt-in, of course).

  A Role is a Person's participation in a single Program.  To avoid
  duplication of data entry, facilities will be available for selecting
  an existing Role associated with a particular User to be duplicated for
  participation in a new Program.

  A Person has to have at least one Role in order to be able to create
  any Work (such as a Document) on the site.  The easiest-to-obtain Role is
  probably Club Member (though Clubs can set their own membership criteria).

  A Role entity participates in the following relationships implemented
  as a db.ReferenceProperty elsewhere in another db.Model:

   documentation) a 1:many relationship of Documentation (tax forms,
     letters from schools, etc.) associated with the Role by Hosts.  This
     relation is implemented as the 'documentation' back-reference Query of
     the Documentation model 'role' reference.

   works) a many:many relationship with Works, stored in a separate
     WorksRoles model, representing the Work authored by this Role.
     See the WorksRoles model class for details.
