[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's see 2000$ (average) 13 players = 26,000$     For 3 teams lets say (Red,white,blue) = 78,000

That's 78,000$ now U9-U16 = 624,000$ !!!! Now that's just the boys side..

Should we multiply that number times 2 for the girls???[/quote]

You forgot Rec and the extra camps like Summer and Winter camp...

Futsal extra training like dribbling and striker clinics[/quote]

LOL.  OK, now divide by all the coaches and staff for that example club.   The numbers shrink back down.[/quote]

$624,000 x2= $1,248,000.  This is from 6 teams (boys and girls).  On average, a coach coaches 2 teams so they will need 3 coaches to coach these teams.   As someone indicated on this thread, coaches are paid around $50,000 so three coaches will be paid $150,000 total.  $1,248,000-150,000=$1,098,000.  So after, the club paid the coaches, it gets to keep $1,098,000. Let's say they spend $98,000 on fields rentals and league fees, which is probably too high for just six teams.  This still leaves $1,000,000 unaccounted.  If the club runs U9 through U19 travel program, you can multiply this number by 10, so you would have around $10 million sitting around unaccounted somewhere.  I have no problem if a club invests extra money and buys soccer fields/facilities that improve the kids experience, but otherwise, not all clubs do so. [/quote]

You have problems in other areas, not as apparent as in math.

$78000 is ready for U9-U16, then you mutiply by 10.. 
" If the club runs U9 through U19 travel program, you can multiply this number by 10, "

And so many teams only have 3 coaches...

You are not multiplying the net number for one age group, $1 million is the number where the cost of coaching and fields was already deducted.   You can alternatively multiply, $1,248,000 by 10 and then deduct the salaries of 30 coaches and cost of fields (around $2.4 mil.), if you prefer.   The result is the same.  We can quibble a little about how much the coaches paid, but in the grand scheme of things there are little details that don't change the fact that millions of $$$$$ are not accounted for.
