im sure they'll offer up a breakdown if asked.Originally Posted by MFKS
as mentioned, for 30 games and 2 nights per week coaching, kit etc that $700-$800 figure seems on par.
the coaches our club have involved are credentialed and wouldnt (nor shouldnt) be doing it for free.
as a parent, the easy option to save money is to just not do the program.
the cash doesnt concern me, our family is lucky we can afford it.
but.
my concern is the actual type of coaching the kid will receive. from the trials it seemed they went after one particular 'type' of player. but after seeing some of the kids selected, i was pleasantly surprised. it looks like the club is trying to build a team, not just a bunch of kids doing tricks.
if this is the philosophy, im keeping him in (as long as he continues to get selected). but if it reverts to just teaching them a bunch of flicks and tricks then ill sit him in front of Zidane and Iniesta DVD's instead and save the money.
