Be real.

They paid the fields. The projected costs and expenses. They did not project the virus.

Please understand this is a sport, is a business.

How can he return the money if he spent it.

Be real... its business... you wouldnt do it so stop asking

Also we have friends that play at other clubs in Jax and they are not expecting refunds from their clubs so stop pointing fingers

The letter doesn’t say it is already spent. It says we will continue to pay staff and coaches because they have families. How many coaches have FESA as their only job. Most work in other day jobs or in the service industry. Not sure any coach would ever expect to be paid for not coaching or traveling for games.

What I read there is "Bubb is still getting paid" and "No refunds peons".

Would he take a pay cut to help the other coaches out if it came down to it. Remember he grew up with no football boots and knows what real poverty is! I think we know the answer to this.

Our director has told us that they have been in touch with FESA, Clay, south Florida and teams from ATL trying to extend the season if possible depending on what is happening in mid-May

Dear Florida Elite Community,

We hope you and your family are staying healthy.

We want to personally thank you for your support of Florida Elite and your incredible resilience during these challenging times.

As the situation with COVID-19 unfolds, we want to assure you that nothing is more important than the safety and well-being of our players and staff. Soccer around the world is on hold while leagues observe how this crisis unfolds. We share your disappointment that the season has not yet been completed. Our goal remains to finish as much of the season as possible, even if this means adopting a flexible approach.

Florida Elite remains here for you. We are finding creative ways to remain connected and keep everyone match fit, while distancing ourselves physically. Thousands of players have already benefited from using our free daily Florida Elite classrooms. If your player has not already done so, please sign them up. We can also be found on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and TikTok.

The costs of running a large organization remain. Our coaching and administrative staff continue to get paid; we are sensitive they also have families to support. When life returns to normal, Florida Elite and our incredible team will be positioned to resume offering the best soccer program in Southeast USA. Soccer will unite our families and community.

If you are in need of help, please reach out to our Florida Elite staff. If you want to help, please email me personally.

This is a dynamic situation and it's important that you follow the advice of medical and scientific experts. Please practice social distancing. Without it, we have the potential to inadvertently harm family and friends.

Thank you and stay safe!


Yours in Soccer,

Steven Mail, President

Well if FESA does not let go of any employees they can apply for a small business relief check.

Can non profit groups get these handouts?

Can non profit groups get these handouts?

Yes, from what I have read, as long as they have less than 500 employees which I'm sure they do, they would qualify. It would allow them to pay employees and also issue refunds to parents. As long as they keep all the employees they had at the beginning the loan is forgiven.

Then the board members need to make sure they are filing for that loan! Coaches must be feeling happy to collect a paycheck to do nothing.

I think it comes in the form of a loan from the small business administration. I'll have to get into the stimulus package language a little deeper to better understand.

Feel bad for any competitive coach es who quit. They could have been collecting a huge paycheck for no training or long weekends on the road.
