Junior high fees and eftpos machines

Post by Tzon »

The focus is get your money as quickly as possible to secure your child's place in a FFSA clubs junior colts team. This is happening around FFSA junior clubs in Adelaide Town. This is more about revenue raising than teaching children the game of life.
What is the FFSA going to do about this unsustainable road junior colts soccer has taken????

Here's one that may be more relevant to the thread. Although, as I don't see all the posts, I'm not sure.

I'd like to see kids become more of a 'pay wave' where they deposit money into the club just for walking past, it would be much more efficient.

We will see more and more kids only playing school football in the future. And when a club identifies a talented lad, what will happen? Free fees??
As an example, I wonder if Mabil or Teeboy payed club fees.

State government has just introduced a $50 sports voucher for all primary school students that can go towards club fees..... Let's hope clubs don't all of a sudden raise their fees by $50

Adelaide City, Metro, Blue Eagles & Campbelltown all charge above $800 in fees Under 10 up. Other clubs charge a lot less.

They have a captured market for juniors in the east/north east. Too far to travel to other Premier League clubs and inconvenient to up lift kids to other clubs and disrupt their soccer and friendships developed.

Whats the cost of VPL clubs?
Whats the price of NSW NPL clubs?
How much less are West Adelaide, Raiders, White City, Birkala?
How much is Tea Tree Gully tennis club?
How much is Glenelg Golf Club membership with 2 nights a week training and a competition every week end?
How much is a years membership for North Adelaide Swimming club?

You make it sound like price fixing by those 4 clubs, maybe ring the ACCC.

$800 = just over $15 a week. Even if say looking at 8 months of season, say train twice a week, play once @ 39 weeks, works out around just under $7 per session. Take into account pitch hire/maintenance, lights (electric bills), equipment, coaches, FFSA fees, I see it is as fairly cheap!
Have 2 less Trung Nguyen coffees a week, and there's your fees paid!

Asuming you've whacked the best one you can find on here $720 for under 12's is still in the same ball park. as $800ish.

Any word on the Glenelg Golf junior memberships with coaching?

South Melbourne FC?

Junior fees cap

Junior fees cap of $2,000+GST. This is taking into consideration the fees charged across other NPL competitions.

http://leopoldmethod.com.au/ffa-nationa ... oria-2014/

I understand thats a cap, but there's obviously a reason they have had to put a cap at 2k.

It's not exactly "cheap" but it's not out of the realms of affordability either.

Parents ask themselves: "Do you give your child a sporting education, or do you buy pizza on a Friday night every week?"

Any other Premier league clubs?

Croydon:
U6-9 - $495
U10-11 - $695
U12-17 - $795
Discounts applicable to parent's who have more than one child playing I believe, but not sure how much.
Also note - many players get personal sponsor (local deli owner, uncle Johnny etc) who pay the fees and get framed player photo/strip on display in their place of business.
