Wow, you are dumb.

Because your soccer coaches, who are scrambling to make a living, OR working 2 jobs, deserve an increase in pay (as does everyone working at the club to support all teams)

LOL someone got triggered.

But pretty much what everyone else has said. The cost of everything has gone up, in some cases dramatically. Not sure which club went up the most, but I imagine if it was expensive before, it's still expensive now.

Are the tuition fees not being published on clubs websites anyone?

Good raise it more! It will weed out the less committed parents. More college slots for those remaining.

We know it's not Bethesda parents complaining because they are the only club in North America who haven't started making offers or releasing coaching slates. Because they egotistically think they can get whichever players they want. That game is running out, so they just "adjust" the age groups at will through bio-banding.

VSA increase was only $100 for ECNLRL teams and less for lower teams. Not cheap, but $2,495 for ECNLRL isn't bad since it includes the club and team fees.

has your club always collected team fees or was that cost specific to your team?

SYC only collects the club fee and does not manage anything else.

Team fees is based on the coach's discretion how many tournaments and or events the team participates in.

The Samba boyz were playing a tournament every month.

Team fees for SYC easily reach $500 if not $1000 depending on team size and # of tournaments and level of team. Gets expensive fast.

As a team treasurer this is correct. Travel Team Registration is a flat fee to the club. Team Fees are for everything the team needs to pay for. This ranges from equipment, socials (food/drink), tournament fees, etc. The more tournaments a team does the higher the Team Fees. Also, any tournaments that require travel and hotel increase Team Fees exponentially. Depending on the team it's sometime ideal to stay with local tournaments without travel/hotel. Keeps Team Fees down to $400ish/family for the entire fall through spring season.

We are with SYC. We are on the MLSN team. We just got back from FL and we had to pay for our coach's airfare, hotel, car rental, mileage reimbursement and also food allowance.

I am okay to pay for the airfare, hotel and car rental but I think it is a tad much to ask for mileage and food allowance.

We had to reimburse for food + mileage too. I think that is standard when you travel for "work", which the coach is.

Those FL tournaments are $$$.
