Auskick :-k

Actually just had alook at what it costs in mount gravatt QLD (an area I knew has a team for each code)

Junior Sport in Mount Gravatt for a 10 year old

Rugby league $155 plus Membership ($15) total $170.00

Football $210.00
(Junior Development levy if in the highest graded team add $80)

AFL $170.00

Pretty much all the same unless your kid has to pay the Junior Levy of $80. I should look at more teams and try and get an avg price.

Why is Auskick like 55 bucks then?

Most of it goes into an insurance pool I think mate. In case of injury so there is money to pay for people wages if it stops them from working. Also ground hire and maintenance.

This should be a bigger issue. It's ignored by main stream press but if AFL charged 300 plus $$ for rego their would be a huge up roar and it would get sorted.

Check the annual accounts, FFV you can, there is a levy on every player junior to senior in Australia approx $12.50 if memory serves me that goes to the FFA has been happening since ASF days early nineties.

they get their cut but dont worry ffa gets their too

LOL. I'd be amazed if a cent of it moves past the State Fed.

Our fee's are staying at $200 this season, of that I think $147 was insurance and FFV fee's. After all the other fee's my club keeps about $30 per player, which isn't much when you consider utilities and equipment expenses.
I was recently looking through the minutes from a committee meeting from 2001 and we were only paying $90 a season then, unfortunately they made insurance mandatory since that time.
But $365 seems monumentally excessive, I feel quite happy with my $200.

its going to run the a-league

Sure, things go up. That's not what I asked.

I want a GHFA or NSWFF answer to the break up my fee. Where is it going?

things cost money, get on the board if you dont belive.

as electricity bills and interest rates go up so do soccer fees, fair call?

Some of you may know that I've just returned to Aus after years on the road.

I was about to register on the weekend - $365 - Gladesville Hornsby. I've been playing overseas for next to free, usually only ground hire and insurance.

Where is this money going? My back of the envelope calculation for the 22 AA Divisions runs to well over A$1M before counting Boys, Girls, Womens and O/35s Mens alone is 9 Divs.

What is the split between the NSWFF and Gladesville Hornsby? Where is the money going GHFA?
