No affiliation, group of 10 teams became an extension of sorts. Some are going back to FCP, some are going elsewhere, however will still utilize same facilities.

Haven’t heard a North Shore reference since forever!!!!
Sounds like the girls are less. The boys are paying a lot more according to my buddy who is more than willing to spend extra for Liverpool. He said they didn't get much from Galaxy and their clan watches EPL every week, not MLS. He's die hard soccer fan and he told me yesterday that MLS is like "A" ball in Minor League Baseball.

I was told 3100 for the premier program when talking to the coach.
Plus this fee and that fee. I think the girls and maybe the U- Littlies might be lower? Maybe someone from the clubs can share ALL the fees. Many of us parents have been hit with all the extras we didn't account for mid season. Parents living check to check don't like the "mid season surprises" especially if your trying to be wise with your money and save some of it. If your not paying $3100 plus all the extras, then your not on the Premier Team. Sort of like DA and DPL. If you're not on the Premier Team then why would you want to be on a Liverpool Team from the Premier League? What's the "non" premier team called? DPL? Developmental Premier League?

$3150 for non DA/ECNL U12 and U13s. That is expensive even with the 5 included tournaments (which is a cool idea)
Ask and you shall receive
Great work team!!!
Don't forget the additional $500 Premier program fee.
The $4K estimate was pretty close when you add the team fees and additional tournaments or events. This season could be very expensive for those who sign up their kids.

Plus ref fees for games and scrimmages? 3 months of additional training after December? Been around a long time and this has got to be one of the slickest ways to nickel and dime someone. What happens after the first season? Do people leave in droves pissed off or do they just accept it and keep writing checks? They seem pretty confident that it will be the later..
Javiecua03, I’m a little confused. You said they kicked your son off the team last week, but they lost 4/5 games after he left? Did they play a tournament. Also, did you tell the coaches you weren’t coming back before you stated that on the forum?
Just trying to understand the sequence. Coaches will almost always punish the player after parents tell them they won’t be back the next year. Sounds like in your case, another parent may have read your comment and told the coach.
Either way, good chance to move on and start training with a new club and maybe join for state cup.
Hey Kicker, what say you now? Bad Intel? I have many dear friends on this forum who are afraid to speak up so I'm doing it for them.
I’m sure they appreciate you!

They offer a "tryout" yet every parent receives an e-mail "CONGRATULATIONS (INSERT CHILD'S NAME HERE) ...." If you can pay, you are on the team.
And if enough kids come to tryouts they will make sure to add more teams so no one gets cut. No cut soccer plus 25% start in some leagues so everyone can find their spot on a team. We should all be happy like Surf, soccer.com, Nike, private trainers, speed trainers, shooting specialist, restaurants, rent a car service, United Airlines and gas stations because more & more parents are spending $2300-$4100 for 10 months of soccer and are willing to travel land & sea to play other leagues with no cut soccer and everyone plays. Tryouts are so lame now. They mean nothing today.

Fees for olders will be min $3650. This is at min a $500 hike to cover all the new “free” uniforms, Pay for coaches gear, new canopies marketing gear (canopies, flags, balls, etc) and admin trips to Liverpool - have to take photos to send out to parents who really believe they are part of the real Liverpool academy. All premier teams always have been required to by “special” gear and all players throughout the club have to pay for new bags, sweatshirts, etc as they are mandatory to buy. They go after every dollar they can squeeze out. Next month they will probably start to push some super new special training they got specially from Liverpool. Next step in the brainwashing of those who don’t know any better. Some folks are will probably even read them the board and pony up the $4K because they have an “extra” day of training and offered super “premier” level team status. That extra day of training will just be the Coerver skill days rebranded as something new - I’m sure the coaches who were doing the Coerver Skills Training (believe guys from Galaxy West) are going to have a happy new year when they figure they won’t be doing anymore of the training.

The shitty part is clubs people aren’t speaking up and telling clubs I’m paying in March or April when my actual fees are up. The initial payment is usually most or all what the club keeps per kid. So if the kid leaves they truly have free money. That is pet of the current system that needs to be regulated. No money should be allowed to be collected until the start of the new training season cycle.
