I would totally take this job over for $150 per team, which is NCSL's rec pricing.

Next Saturday (7 days from now).

I sat down with my calendar to finally sort our fall family schedule out, pulled up their site....and still nothing!? My DH coaches a rec team in this league and also coaches our younger child's lax team, so really, we need the schedule and so do hundreds of other families! Incredibly dismissive and inconsiderate to the rec side families to be this slow and lazy getting it up.

We have had the club side schedules for a really long time now. I get aggravated waiting for schedules, I would be irate too.

I think posting schedules one week before games start is really late. For a professional scheduling service that charges per team. They have a full time employee for just rec teams.

SFL quit doing this thankless job and NCSL took it on more as a charity act just to keep the SFL concept from folding when the SFL organizers folded.

IF the NCSL were not doing it you would have 50 different clubs volunteers trying to coordinate on their own and the landscape would be quite different


How is it a charity act when they are charginig $150 per team sinply to push out a schedule? That seems quite lucrative honestly.

If it faded away a lot of the clubs would have to raise travel dues to make of for money they squees out of rec players (look at what PP is paying for NCSL rec)

disorganization is often why people quit rec and go to club

I don't think the county even charges for grass field practices, but lets say $10 a player. Then $10 a player for turf for games.
The coach works for free. Say $25 in admin costs per kid (which seems high for rec). Then $150 to ncsl per team for scheduling. Rec pays refs worse than travel, so maybe $100 for four home games for refs.
That leaves the "nonprofit" with a profit of $2700ish *per team.*

Where does the money go!!!???


A $2700 profit *per rec team* is wild.

Gotta subsidize the travel teams. We're $150 for an NCSL rec team that practices twice a week on turf


How come some NCSL rec teams get turf for practices and some don't. How does the county award the turf space?


Clubs that care about rec as well as travel. Clubs apply for permits then divvy up fields to their teams. Clubs that care about rec teams don't put them on terrible fields in favor of travel.
