Not really. Herndon for example charges $2100 plus team fees and that’s to play CCL. That’s in line with valor and others. It’s the cost of living in NoVa. [/quote]

OK, Herndon and local ECNL club parents are fleecing parents.  I fixed it for you. [/quote]

$2100 is getting fleeced? who charges less than that... and for what? I have one kid at a big club who pays less than that but the cost doesn't include tournaments or winter futsal, and they pretty much don't practice in the winter or summer. I have a kid at a smaller club who pays a bit more than $2100 but has practice year-round, 4-5 tournaments a year, and winter futsal. Also small club has one extra practice a week. The higher-cost club is a much better value for our money.

If I had to guess, I would assume that ECNL teams are paying a premium for the most highly trained coaches and that they participate in more (and more expensive) tournaments than other teams.

I used to be a treasurer for a team and, if you see a budget, you'd understand how a team can easily get to $2500 or even $3000. And the budgets I oversaw had coaches who were paid $1000-$1200 per month -- no one is getting rich off of this. But clubs and teams pay a lot of money for everything in this area! [/quote]

Loudoun ECNL coaches are paid 40k per team. [/quote]

no, they are not. trust me. [/quote]

40k is a lie, that’s not true[/quote]
