This blurb below is how we try and help explain costs when inviting players to join in May, 2018. This is one example for a U13 age group targeting SCSCL play. We also add similar messaging to the actual registration process so that no one registers online without some warning that additional costs will come.
The more I think about it, thanks for your concern, we might see if we can do better in this regard for next year (on our website) to provide a little more help upfront.
Anyway, this may help understand what you will expect to pay for a top level Statewide team with us.
------------------ Dear Parents
You can now register online and finalize your application for the 2018/19 soccer year.
A note about fees, club costs and team (individual) costs.
I trust you will recognize the value we offer in this regard, but like to be as transparent as possible about all the likely costs ahead of you.
CLUB FEES upon registration include
$75 annual registration - covers administration, insurance, and SCYS pass through costs
$275 per season (fall and spring) club fees - covers rents, landscaping, and coaching stipend
You can pay this in one go ($625) upfront, or in two installments ($350 now and $275 in January).
You can select payment plan on checkout.
TEAM FEES
We will collect these later and will include team specific costs for league entry fee, Coach travel expenses, and referee fees - split evenly for all players (budget ~ $100)
TOURNAMENT FEES
We will likely enter two (2) tournies per season (one local and one out of town). These cost $40-$50 each plus travel (for out of town)
UNIFORM
Cost of our uniform package runs around $130 each (includes home and away kit and good for 2 years)
Good news is that CASC will secure sponsors to provide us a free training jersey
satus quod perago validus - start and finish strong
