Junior fees

Post by AL K HOLIC »

Do fees play in the minds of parents prior to trials?

If fees were cheaper would this be an assentive to move if the club was in your locality?

If fees were 50% (or more) cheaper would this be an assentive to move if the club was in your locality?
If fees were exactly the same at all the clubs for JPL, would players (& parents) need to move? Would they be more loyal to their club...play for the 'shirt'?

Fees are an issue, but not a major one. Value is more important and in all honesty my lad plays for the shirt, where he feels comfortable and valued. So in our case, fees do not influence club choice.

No, Most parent would not care as long there is a spot for the child in the club and get a decent coach. But the old saying "pay peanuts get monkeys"

Think you mean they must be prepared to pay upon confirmation of selection? .... cant see anyone paying any amount before they trial :)

That would be a good idea though! If you didn't get selected could you get the money back.

Look at the trials, no fee/deposit, no trials with a couple of clubs.

Makes it hard to trial at multiple clubs and hard if you have 2 or more kids. But on that note, these are the times we live in.

What sort of fees are we talking here, how much?

Toros are now offering a non fees opportunity.
So there's a real choice.
$ 0 TO $ 1000.
Chose the fee structure and stop complaining.

It is not free fees, it is uniform only and whatever that costs, the only cost will be the purchase of your playing strips,shorts and socks and any tracksuits etc that one may want. Still has to be the cheapest around.
