Once you do the secret handshake, and answer a riddle......then maybe the club will tell you how much they charge. What's your experience?

No announcement yet.
Shouldn't club fees be publicly disclosed?

Yes. This is just one of the consumer abusive practices in youth soccer
Only MA club who does, that I know of, is AFC.

Should they? Probably and some do but details matter in order to compare apples to apples - how many practices a week, how many tournaments and where (so you know about travel costs), are uniforms included (and if not how much?). But they'd like to get a look at your kid and vice versa before they do a hard sell. There's also lots of deals made for players they really want.

I have an agreement for a lawn service to come and fertilize, spray for tickets, etc. I know what I pay. I have no idea what other customers pay. The rates are not listed on their website.
Should I be demanding they publicize their rates on their webpage? What if they say "No"?
I can accept that, or leave.

How about this for a better analogy: check out any university and see if tuition costs are listed.

But, to use your point - yes, every lawn is different. So is every player.
Same with the University. Sure, they post their standard tuition, but what every student pays is different.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI technically agree with you. However, my question would be, if these clubs are listed as non-profits don't they have an obligation that is different than a lawn care company. I don't know the rules of a non-profit to be honest...but I would think there would be some requirements for fair pricing to receive the benefits of being a non-profit.
