Another cash grab yesterday, rostering 16 kids at $100 a piece when the tournament is only $600 a team.
The coach for my daughter's friend's team didn't show and didn't tell anyone she wouldn't be there. Some random dad had to step in unexpectedly.
Nothing new here and I'm part of the problem for supporting this organization longer than I should have when I clearly know better.
If paying online, you have to factor in the processing fees (5% + $.30 to $1.00 per transaction) so say $1500 and then paying for coaches which is $200-300 per coach per event plus practices so maybe $300-$400 profit.... A lot of other teams out there charge a lot more than this - this seems fair running a business which also involves more overhead costs (i.e. insurance, corp fees, marketing, phone, travel, field rentals and the list goes on) $100 to play in a tournament is more than fair.
