This is a little off the beaten path for PMSL, but the same group sanctions it, so be it!

2005 Revenue & Expenses
REGISTRATION = $267,262 & $33,233 = (+) $234,029
TOURNAMENTS = $134,975 & $103,669 = (+) $31,126
CLINICS = $23,945 & $16,606 = (-) $7,339
ODP = $210,706 & $226,296 = (-) $15,590

So, without the "Sponsorships" and "Other", which are not listed under SCYSA Expenses, then the SCYSA made a $265,155 profit with expenses of $22,929 for a difference of $242,226. Is that necessary? Where is the benefit for the SCYSA players and coaches? Looks to me like a lot has gone to the administrators, of which regular and local board members are not allowed to be paid.

Also, should ODP coaches get paid for their services? After all, they are providing a service to the state of South Carolina soccer community -- something many didn't do without some sort of stipend or salary. What happened to 'progressing the sport'?

One more thing, does the SCYSA Executive Board answer to anyone? I mean, league name changes, sponsorship deals, schedules, etc., get passed by the buck at that level, but does this group every answer soccer questions to anyone?
