No World Cup

A female coworker's daughter plays on an Elite team somewhere in South Jersey and she told me not long ago that they pay around $7500 for it. I initially thought I didn't hear her correctly. That's f'n nuts.

this is true for the clubs and the "pay for play" mentality. For me to get my coaching license costs close to $2500. No one in the world does this...time for a total rethink on this whole mess

First off, Thx for coaching. Too few step up

Local Club here wanted an artificial turf field instead of grass, so they raised the price of registration and did a fundraiser. $2800 / kid to play competitive soccer and that does not include tournaments or the coaches' travel expenses

They spent $ 1 million to build (1) turf field...in effing San Diego which has perfect grass-growing weather year-round. Pathetic

The Soccer-Industrial Complex (SIC) is out of control.
