Clubs don't pay for anything. All costs are passed onto parents in one form or another. Some clubs/teams have one overall admin fee that covers travel other make parents pay as you go. Either way, you're paying for it all. Why would you think it is any different than this. If you're savvy the parents can try to find a sponsor (get logos on uni's) to help cover some of the costs.
Thanks, as stated above we didn't expect them to pay for any of it. That was not the issue. But we were surprised they left all of the administrative tasks to us.

Registering for the tournament, collecting money/arranging training/finding field space/paying club coach, booking airfare/hotel/,car for coach.
While we expected to be paying for all that, we were a bit surprised to find out we were responsible for all the legwork. But also new to this, so wasn't sure if that was how things usually worked.
