Wanna take ur 11year old to play at Adelaide City?
It'll cost you $720.
Give me a break.
Get real you guys.
Keep pumping the kids fees into senior wages, well done.

gremio,
my experience is that it costs approxametely $ 520 to put a child on the park if you have under 230 juniors.
So if you don't get enough money from fees you need to get an income from some other source.
Most kids want to play at bigger/successfull clubs with the best senior squads, facilities and coaches, it costs big time.

Bill trophys are on the way courtesy of a local business 150 of them donated, I am just trying to get the name so I can thank them publicly.

Many other media outlets and businesses are getting involved and the club will live to fight on, bigger and stronger than ever, and with close links to the Fed Club as well.

forza, I was just trying to work out what you were saying, no malice intended

End of the day, fees are fees and you have a choice!
No one holding a gun to your head

rossonero · Post by **rossonero** » Wed Oct 04, 2006 3:05 pm

lets think about it, $720 is a lot of money and if you have a couple of kids playing, it all adds up. that is not including fundraisers and club dinners during the year. there are clubs out there that charge half of that and are competitive.

rosso nero like nova said no one i s holding a gun to your head , if your not happy to pay the fee move on , but you find parents want there son to play in winning teams and thus pay . sad yes but true .

Cr@p..... My club charges no where near $520 per child and i reckon our cost are as much if not more than yours. $720 is not justifiable.

Is that a can of worms can opener question

There's two types of parents, rational and irrational, one of them pays $750!
There's two types of coaches, one who developes kids and one who developes an ego!
There's two types of clubs, one that focus' on winning at all cost and the rest of them develope kids

You work it out, it's your money and your kids!

'tis an expression in todays youth.

Gremio, im not from Ad City but that price in real terms is nothing, lets say:

Playing Uniform $70 - Quality gear rather then cheap stuff.

Training gear $50 x 2 - again quality gear

Ball - average $15

jacket - $60

Registration - $6.50 to ffsa

Registration- $11 to ffa

Team Registration - total $250 per team - so probably average $13 per player to ffsa

Insurance - $200 per team - average $11 per player to ffsa's insurance place.

council rates - probably $15 per player to cover

bills, bills, bills - porbably $30 per player to cover

team equipment - probably made up of bibs, cones, step ladders, training poles - lets say $15 per player

lets say that all comes to $300

the remaining $420 works out to say average 5 hrs a week for training and matches time by 35 weeks (includes preseason and trials, aswell as season) - training costs

Thats 175 hours of service the clubs provides for about $2.40 an hour!

It costs something like $10 a session to do karate, it costs like $10 a session to do swimming!

$720 is a lot of money, but its a service in the end, and if your happy at the end with the service, your not going to complain about $2.40 an hour

sorry billy disagree thats why you have sponsors to bring down the price for the kids fees, also have raffles etc during the season

Nova · Post by **Nova** » Fri Oct 06, 2006 9:31 am

$420 left over multiplied by say 300 kids = $126,000 + raffles + canteen + sponsorship!
Not a bad business, but not everyone can afford it and I don't thing anyone bugets by the hour!
But if you do, you can go to another club for $1.50 an hour!
It's easy to justify anything or make something look better than what it is!
My wife costs me about 20 bucks an hour(maybe more), if I traded her in for a cheaper model that was only 5 bucks an hour plus the 10 bucks an hour alomomy, that would be only $15 dollars an hour!
Would I be better off? I guess it's my choice

I no at para hills last year the juniors were charged approx $270.00
that included t-shirt, 2 pairs of shorts, 2 pairs of socks and 2 adult memberships which allows the parents to get into all the home games of the seniors for free

Nova · Post by **Nova** » Fri Oct 13, 2006 8:49 am

That's an absolute bargain ron, and to play at a good club!
Would have to be the cheapest around to get into a good junior set up!

rossonero · Post by **rossonero** » Fri Oct 13, 2006 9:20 am

enfield city's junior fees are around $270 aswell and they offer the same as Para Hills, deffenitely cheaper than most clubs and still competitive, these clubs should defenitely be considered for junior trials.

You know i didn't even realise Enfield had junior team, lol.
Please don't compare them to Para Hills.

$270 sounds excellent. Was that all or did they have to pay something before the games too? Not that it would really add up to another couple of hundred bucks.

(Just wondering - not trying to stir things up)

the juggler · Post by **the juggler** » Sat Oct 14, 2006 8:21 am

Para fees were VERY reasonable last year and included a full tracksuit but they were not $270. Check with the club and they will tell you the correct dollar figure. Hopefully be about the same this year.
