Fees for 2010-2011

By working at club fundraisers, players can earn CREDITS which can be applied to MUSC player-related expenses, such as training fees, travel/tournament fees, uniforms, and league fees (HSF, HYSA, US Club Soccer). Credits are based on hours worked and/or ticket sales. Excess credits may be transferred to another player, if desired. If a player leaves the club, any unused credits revert to club general credit fund at the beginning of the next seasonal year.

If a player joins mid-year (after winter HYSA season), training fees may be pro-rated. However, it shall not be less than half the fee regardless of when the player joins.

TRAVEL FEES

Travel fees will generally include each players share of airfare, ground transportation (rental, insurance, gas, parking), hotel (1/4 room), coaches air, room & per diem, tournament entry fees, and miscellaneous expenses, such as laundry and drinks for games. There will sometimes be a charge for breakfast or lunch supplies if any meals will have to be served in the rooms due to game schedules. Players need to bring cash for outside meals (about $10-15/meal, depending on the player). If additional substantial expenses occur on the trip and are paid for by the team/club, such as group admission fees or team photos, players may be billed after the trip

Travel fees must be paid in full before departure on any trip. Payment for airfare is due at the time of booking. The balance of fees for the trip is due 3 weeks before travel. If family members wish to accompany the team and travel arrangements have been made by the club, their fees must also be paid in advance. Player credits may not be used to cover travel costs for family members. Expenses incurred by parents on behalf of the team during the trip will be reimbursed according to receipts turned in. Such expenses may not be used to off-set travel costs.

Parents may benefit by volunteering to house and be responsible for extra players in their room and thus lower their net room cost. Parents who house extra players will be reimbursed the amount that each player was charged for a share of a room (generally ¼ of the room). Room parents are expected to remain available to look after the players and not to be absent from the hotel for long periods of time unless arrangements have been made with another adult for care of the players.

Parents may also benefit by volunteering to drive a team van in order to avoid having to rent a car at the tournament. Van rental, gas and parking fees incurred by the driver will be reimbursed. The van must be available for transporting players or performing team errands at all times and is not at the disposal of the driver for personal errands or transporting family and friends, unless the team has no potential need for it at the time.

Parents who are not van drivers are responsible for their own transportation at tournaments. They should not expect to “hitch rides” in the team vans.
