Metro League U7, U8, U9 , U11, and U13 Fee Breakdown


MPSA 2022-2023 - Fees Information

The MPSA Board, Technical Director, and Coaches are looking forward to another successful season of soccer in 2022-2023. As we approach the beginning of our indoor training program, it’s important that our parents are informed about our fees for the season and what these fees support within our Club.

The 2022-2032 Metro League Fees look as follows:
  • Metro League (Under 7, 8 and 9) - $645/ per player
  • Metro League (Under 11 and 13) - $695/ per player
These fees are a slight increase over our 2021-2022 fees and are a reflection of a line-by-line analysis of last year’s actual expenses, as explained below.

The expenses for MPSA fall into seven categories, and we feel it is important that our parents understand what these costs are. The most obvious cost is the rental fees for the facilities we use in the wintertime. However, we also factor in the cost of our uniforms, employee salaries, soccer-related equipment and supplies, NLSA and League fees, club overhead costs, and club projects.

Uniforms

First of all, every Metro player is responsible for purchasing the required uniforms (Metro teams each need one full uniform). All of our uniforms are purchased through Sportscraft and as our supplier, they have continually offered us a bulk discount. For the 2022 season, each full uniform had a full cost of $115/$140. We anticipate that costs will increase slightly this year.

Throughout the year, the club spends significant money on soccer-related supplies like balls, nets, pennies. We have assigned those costs across the programs as appropriate.

 


 

 

Training Facility Fees

Secondly, our players will practice in four facilities: Benvon Room. We have worked with Steven Jamieson to see how much time at the facility Metro players should get this winter and applied the costs accordingly. At this point, we have confirmed costs of approximately $22,000.00 for the Benvon Room rentals. 

For the operation of our own club and facilities, we incur roughly $50,000 in fixed expenses. This includes light and power, internet, field maintenance, insurance, banking fees, and more. We have assigned this as an equal cost to each player at our club, regardless of PYL, Metro, or Club/Micro status as “General Administration”.

 


 

Staff

In the past year, we employed five office staff, twenty-five full-time students, and over fifteen part-time students through the year. Many of these employment costs are assigned to Club/Micro, but a significant portion is dedicated to our Metro Program.

 



Newfoundland and Labrador Soccer Association / Canadian Soccer Association Fees

For all players registered with any soccer program, the NLSA collects a per player registration fee of just under $25. As well, we receive invoices at year-end for both PYL and Metro that include the costs of referees, field rentals, and staff. These costs are included in “NLSA and League Fees”.

Finally, we have had an increase in the cost of licensing our coaches for Metro as the NLSA and CSA have increased their requirements. As well, we have debts related to our turf pitch and the replacement of the existing surface is also within planning range. Therefore we have calculated that $60 per PYL and Metro player is required to fund some of these requirements.
 
All told, we feel that our fees remain the lowest across the various soccer clubs operating within the Metro region but the quality of our programming is as high as anyone else, as demonstrated by our strong showings in the PYL in 2022.
