[quote=Anonymous]There's been a lot of discussion about the cost of club volleyball on threads that were supposed to serve other purpose. I will revive this thread to keep separate topics on separate threads.

Here are the Volley Viet club fees for the incoming season: $775 (13), $775 (14), and $825 (17). They use the same model of volunteer coaching as MVSA in MD, which explain why the club fee is extremely reasonable. If you pay the coach $5000 per season (this is a guess based on an earlier post from a regional coach who was making $3500 per season), you would add $500 to the fee for each player (assuming a 10 player roster). Theoretically, you could have clubs in Virginia charging a fee of $1275 and covering their expenses at the same level as Volley Viet, plus paying their coaches. If you compare that fee with that of a random VA club (let's say $5000 just to work with a number), the club gets $3725 extra from each player. A team with 10 players per roster (which does not exist in VA), takes home $37k per team after paying the minimum expenses paid by Volley Viet, plus the coach stipend. Where does the money go? Balltime/Hudl, extra conditioning, then what?[/quote]
