non DA teams funding DA teams
Costs:
Head Coaching ($20k)
Asst Coaching (9k)
Field use ($10,000) yes even when you OWN you owe a piece to the note
Admin ($1,500)
Equipment ($1,000)
USDA payment for league management ($2,500)
Winter programming ($5,000, leagues, tournaments, futsal, indoor space)
Insurance/US Club Cards ($100)
Cost per team about $49,100
cost per player = $3,600
18 rostered players
less 4-5 scholarships per team (could be 1/2, could be full)
= 13.5 paying rostered players
=$48,600
Just math.
Its all break even at best. And none of the younger teams pay for DA teams, they operate exactly the SAME. They require coaching, fields, everything stated above. Replace USDA fee with respective league fees. Younger teams play more tournaments also.
But what you get at NYSC, is an extra day of practice each week than their competitors, better coaching (granted that is a 'view') a home field/campus, an INDOOR facility with professional futsal courts AND turf field, all in a very nice campus at Manhattanville College which is meticulously maintained. You're not driving into some sketch back alley in some crappy neighborhood to find a hidden structure with an aged turf field and hockey walls.
