    How much is the camp? How much are the travel expenses for the coaches? How much is the fundraiser?

      yes, but you can write off the piece of the charitable contribution as well. Bolts are a 501c3 org. Frankly though, anything you pay to the bolts is a charitable donation - you are receiving no value in return, so just write off the whole amount and be done with it...also, include depreciation on your car + gas, travel time, food, opportunity costs associated with both you and your child's time, and anything else you can think of. Heck, there may even be a carbon credit in there for you if you drive a prius or tesla.

        What if you can't make the pre-season camp?

        How much are the travel expenses? What if you can't travel for certain events?
        If you are asking these questions and don't think you can pay it then DA isn't for you.

            Cold hard reality is soccer is pay to play, and pay A LOT. Besides, no one should take price quotes on TS as gospel. Contact the club and ask for a complete breakdown.

                If you believe everything on TS is "gospel" you are the fool.

                    What are the coaches travel expenses at any age group?

                    16-18+ kids per roster.

                    $200 = $3600

                    $300 = $5400

                    $400 = $7200

                      The 15's are simply bad.

                      The 14's can't beat the real teams.

                      The 13's can't beat NEFC.

                      Sure, $4,200 seems about right.
                      The 14s have lost 4 games all season. They beat the Revs, tied Atlanta and North Carolina. Sounds like your kid didn't make it. They have some very good players.

                        They also lost to the Revs. NCYFC outclasses them every time. Gottschee stomped them. They barely beat Beachside, Oakwood and NEFC.

                        I guess they're okay for a Massachusetts DA team.

                            Beachside is one of the better teams, and NEFC battered the Revs. Bolts has been playing kids up all spring which is why they've hardly beat teams like Oakwood.

                              Has it ever occurred to your little brain that maybe the other teams have been doing the same?

                                Sounds like the parent of a player who was cut. Good. Stick to town travel soccer.
