Hopefully the parents at United PDX see the money grab that they are pulling when it comes to futsal. Intead of having parents who want to play pay what it actually costs, they are having them pay a flat 125.00 fee. 125.00 would be enough to cover the fees for a 6 player team, but they say theres 10 players per team, so expect them to try to fill those numbers. On top of that they are asking for "volunteer coaches" so they don't even have to pay coaches to do it (because coaches know this is there time off). This is what gives club soccer a bad name. its this sort of stuff that makes parents from the outside say its all about the money.
Just do some simple math. Futsal for club was only costing 680.00 if you registered through your club. for 10 player team that should only be 68/player. For every player that they have on a 10 player team there club is profiting 57 dollars. If they have 9 players its roughly 76/player and they make 49 dollars. for 8 players on a team its 85/player and they make 40 dollars.
Last I was told they were talking about 500+ futsal players signed up in there club. That means at worst they are pocketing 20k and at best 28,500 (thats only multiplying by 500, they are actually making more than those numbers one way or another.
