$1400 junior fees for 2019
Major club is getting too sure of itself now.
Pushing the envelope at $1400 junior fees reeks of arrogance.
It might be their unique way of avoiding the junior trials dramas of 2016 and 2017.
Or are they offering overs to entice coaches for next year and therefore need the money?
Memo to the unsuspecting parents: don't get sucked in by the hollow promises (again).

Are Comets fees that expensive these days? Heard they had been going up a 100 every year for a few years in a row so must be getting close to that kinda figure. Maybe similar for all inner city npl clubs i guess.

No - but at least they teach how to play properly, unlike a few 'major clubs' who are running it purely as a business.upsidedown wrote:Migrant Land wrote:Major club is getting too sure of itself now.

For $1400, they should employ proper TDs and coaches.Paleon Patros Germanos wrote:That has to be the smartest thing you’ve ever said.Anatural wrote: If there is salary cap why isn’t there a fee cap?
Otherwise it's a blood sucking scam.

I think it’s wrong, but maybe those paying don’t.

A controlled economy where no child shall want for playing the beautiful game - such a grand plan.
They sentenced me to 20 years of boredom for trying to change the system from within.
Re: $1400 junior fees for 2019
It's no problem at all if the parents pay....
Except, when they are promised a great development program, only to find, months later that they've been sold a lemon and are merely customers.

Whoever it is, I'm sure they're doing the right thing and blocking the senior pathway for these juniors anyway by signing all the other guys that came through half price juniors elsewhere.Migrant Land wrote:No - but at least they teach how to play properly, unlike a few 'major clubs' who are running it purely as a business.upsidedown wrote:Migrant Land wrote:Major club is getting too sure of itself now.

Supply and demand will find its level. I'm good at my job, I probably charge more than the bloke down the road. Go to him if you want, come to me if you want a decent product.
Re: $1400 junior fees for 2019
If it's one of the central or eastern clubs then all of those clubs will follow suit and charge $1400 or thereabouts.
Its called a monopoly and collusion by unethical clubs to screw parents for us much as they can get. No parent is going to travel further to get cheap fees north/south/west and that is where the supply and demand theory fails.
You can call it communism trying to limit fees, but this is no different to Electricity prices. All parents are getting screwed.
Meanwhile these clubs deliver very little and pay their Seniors as much as possible to try to win Championships. Campbelltown Soccer Club is the current example paying Joe Mullen and his family imports substantial wages. Campbelltown have never won anything with their own Juniors coming thru to Seniors.

and this is exactly why kids leave clubs at 16-17yrs old after 10 years, they know they have no chance of playing senior football

Parents time, effort and all the extra costs involved with football need to be taken into account.
Re: $1400 junior fees for 2019
I'd say the English (and others) would consider football essential, and is a important part of their culture.God is an Englishman wrote:Electricity is an essential commodity, football isn't.fball12 wrote:If it's one of the central or eastern clubs then all of those clubs will follow suit and charge $1400 or thereabouts.

Re: $1400 junior fees for 2019
do you question the overheads of all services you pay for? Just decide whether you can afford it and if you can't then find another club who charge less or change sports.Migrant Land wrote:Not great value when the cost of providing the service is $0.75 per hour per childmagnet wrote:$6.50 per hour, great value babysitting for doing something the kids love.Migrant Land wrote:Major club is getting too sure of itself now.

Re: $1400 junior fees for 2019
Crazy fees in my opinion but if others are willing to pay that much good luck to them. Price is all about what people are willing to pay. If enough people are willing to pay $1400 a year so be it. That club should be making a mint given it's almost double what I pay for my son.

Re: $1400 junior fees for 2019
Club football and paying $1,400 is not essential. Play for the school, play for a cheaper club.
