Originally posted by Unregistered View PostMore like $140,000, Thorns cover the rest , $700,000.
Do They charge the program for lights, admin staff, janitors, company cars, overhead, payroll of some pro thorns players, up charge for donated uniforms?
Actual travel costs: $200,000.
Markups, add-ones, surcharges, paper supplies for restrooms etc: $700,000.
Good for a laugh.

45 x 4 x $150 = $37,000 tryout fees
That’s only $217,000.00 paid by parents not quarter million.

Tryout fee= &25,000
Cost of three show cases, cost of six away weekends, coaching and staff salary, futsal/field rental fees, uniforms/training gear, weight /SAQ training fees, cost of video taping every game.
A lot more than $200,000

Six travel weekends $500 x 4 x 16 players = $32,000
Travel costs alone are about $100,000 and they only collect about a quarter million from parents so it's not like they are getting rich on the program.
