Team Fees

[Anonymous]

We just joined SYC U15 MLS Next team. The team manager is collecting Team Fees for the Fall. The fee is to cover tournaments and coaches travel for the tournaments. Is this typical?

There are multiple threads about this already. Yes, it is typical for SYC.

So how much are club fees and team fees?

We only pay a club fee (I’m assuming it has tournaments and coach travel built in) at our MLSNext club.

I hope they put the pricing in the contract you signed.

Thank you! But what are the fees exactly, I didn’t see an amount in the earlier threads?

We are at $3700 all in (club and team fees) at another DMV MLSNext club. At a non-MLSNext club for another one of my kid, it’s about a $1000 less but also includes everything.

Seems really stressful to have to deal with collecting team fees!

Typical for MLSNext and ecnl.

If the club is honest, the team fee will be different depending on exactly which tournaments the team registers for as they all have different fees. Coach expenses are cheaper for local tournaments.

You don't see the amount because it depends on several factors such as the number of tournaments, away vs. local tournaments, etc.

$800 for the uniform kit this year. Ridiculous! And that is just the required kit. Throw in a few extra shorts and I'm at $950

Yikes, ours was under $500 last year and I still whined a lot about it. 😆

Yes it's typical.

Some clubs collect everything upfront including tournaments and coach's travel expenses. In these cases they likely over budget to cover unseen price changes or event changes.

Others they collect a club fee that is the same for all and then team fees that cover tournaments/coach's expenses as not all teams do the same tournaments or number of events. Some only do local, others more travel requiring the coach to have travel expenses covered by the team. In this case what is not used up gets returned to the family. You only pay for what you use but it is a bigger pain having to collect it separately.
