Your Club Soccer Dues ARE going way up next year

..... In addition, all clubs are 501(c)(3) non-profits. Nothing stopping a guy from "volunteering" his time to the non-profit and the non-profit from paying a per diem or other compensation/reimbursement. So, no, clubs fees are not going up because of this. Non-issue for youth soccer clubs.

I suggest a consultation with an attorney familiar with the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and IRS guidance before paying "volunteers" anything. It's an easy way to turn a "volunteer" into an employee.

If you have receipts (or even handwritten mileage records) then it is just reimbursement of expenses. If it is for time, it's salary.

I asked our club President (a lawyer and CPA) once if I could get expenses reimbursed for travel to Lancaster to support our club's teams in State Cup, since I was VP of the club's BOD at the time. He laughed at me and said "Only if you go when your kids aren't playing".
