[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey, Legacy, can you explain the structure of the club fees? Break it down for me to see where the money goes. What is the item that increases your fees way above those of more established clubs in MD? What is it that you have to pay for that they don't have to? If you leave this question unanswered, I will doubt that you have the best interest of my athlete at heart, it feels like you care more about your bottom line.

I still don't understand the philosophy of making a team of players who are not performing that well in other clubs. There is a reason why the players in the second teams didn't make the top teams. Do you expect them to earn a bid, when it is hard enough for the top teams to earn one? I am not as excited as the 21:31 "parent" - I will sit this one out and watch the first season. Your willingness to gamble with parents' money and place your teams in the uncomfortable position where they will be outmatched are at least questionable. To put it nicely, your plan is very ambitious and overly optimistic.[/quote]

I won't be able to join this because we will have an in-person "Meet the Coaches" event with a different club. Can someone ask the hosts how they justify their club fees? There is a very good analysis of the club fee structure on a different thread - https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/71/1187914.page - that I will be quoting below.

"Putting this info together, a team at another club that doesn't host tournaments, has the same tournament schedule as an MVSA team and pays coaches could pay ~300 more in tournament fees, ~400 more in coaches salary and ~200 in coach travel/expenses. Add in higher facility costs, an extra practice each week, nationals costs for the team and coaches and then reduced the costs for a lower profit margin and carrying 1-2 more players and you get to a price point of ~3-4K for a travel team. That's very close to the price points for some of the MD clubs that are generally seen as having reasonable prices, and its probably not a coincidence."[/quote]
