Club Cost

Competitive club dues are the same for all teams U11+ in each major club. $2950 at FCD this year. There are additional fees for ECNL girls that go to pay for regional/national tourney fees + travel/room/board.

Someone had asked how NTX compares to other places, just a point of reference, my boss lives in KC, and his fees were closer to $1700. He said that was going rate. I know they were at KC Sporting for a while and one other that was very high ranking in the state. All the big clubs here seem the same price +- $400 or so. Independants usually less to significantly less. I am amazed at the folks willing to pay $3k for D4-D5 soccer. I really wish PPL and APL limited themselves to 3 divisions.. The quality of play, reffing, resources just gets drained when every age has 4 and 5 divisions. You make the 3 or you go play rec, and these rec associations get back to promoting coaching education. I cant recall the last time my rec soccer Association has hosted a class of any sort other than dual goals coaching.
