NEW ECNL CHAT

Question about ECNL fees: Is it typical for a club to ask for an upfront payment of both fall and spring seasons? DA fees were split in to two seasons.

Every club is different. We pay for Fall and Spring separately. Our club requires us to put down a non-refundable deposit in order to reserve our roster spot on the ECNL team. The remainder of the balance for the Fall season can be paid in full or in installments once we return to the field. We have to do the same thing in the Spring.

or pay in full and get 10% off. Might not be worth the 10% savings if no soccer is played and you cant get your money back. Easy call this year for my family :)

payment durations yes this is correct..... contract is for full year though.... but maybe your club does that differently I only have personal experience at a couple of bigger clubs
 
every club team whether SCDSL, ECNL, DA or CSL has required full payment at the beginning of the season. Most had some payment plan options where you could split it up over a few months but everything had to be paid typically by Oct.
 
My kids are at two different clubs. Daughter plays ECNL. My son is younger and plays locally. Both clubs reduced the initial deposits to accept their spot for the year. Daughter’s club was $250. Son’s was only $50. I think deposits were about $600 each last year. Paying the deposit contractually binds you for the year.

Neither club raised prices this year and both offered refunds ($600 & $800) to apply towards tuition for 20/21 season. Both clubs offered pay in full, quarterly or monthly payment plans.

Overall I think they have been very fair about it. I’ve also heard that both clubs have been accommodating to parents who may have lost their jobs. Essentially taking the position they’d work something out financially and would have a spot for every kid who played with them last year. May not be on the same team, but no one was getting tossed out of the club for $ reasons or because a better 9 year old showed up this year.

There may not be a spring season this next year if covid makes a comeback. Money grab by clubs to stay in business. We are not in a "typical" season ahead.
