[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a lot of money if you're used to rec. But consider that the cost includes:

- A coach for those 2-3 weekly practices, games, and tournaments (along with training and equipment)
- Field upkeep/rental fees
- Referee fees (3 refs per match)
- League admin fees
- Tournament entry fees
- Club overhead (which, despite the snarky comments on this forum, are not getting anyone rich)[/quote]

Can you give a more detailed breakdown of this?

I don’t see how this adds up to $3500 per player on a team with 15-20 players[/quote]

Really? Well, the coach is making somewhere around $25-$30K a year or more. So that can be half the cost right there. Field space in the DMV is very expensive- sometimes $100/hour or more. Assume 2-3 teams on the pitch, so you are looking at $6-8K per year per team. League fees are a few thousand, then tournament fees are somewhere around $1-2K per team per tournament. Then add overhead for team management, insurance, whatever app is used, VEO or trace costs... it adds up quickly.[/quote]
