July 22, 2009 · Posted in Uncategorized · 2 Comments
Just wanted to share an email about where our Memorial Cup fundraising efforts go.
From Keith:
From the 2008 Memorial Cup Charity event we made 2 donations – one to the Fisher House and one to My Stuff Bags for $880.00 and $300.00 respectively.
Attached is a letter from the Fisher House Charity.
Please distribute to your team members.
We will again be holding the Memorial Cup Charity event this year and hope to raise even more than last year. Our Organizer and MC is Simon who has done a superb job in past years, he will be providing details for this event. The target to beat is $1180.00.
Thanks and hope to see you tonight for the meeting.

Costs for Upcoming Season
July 13, 2009 · Posted in Uncategorized · Comment
That time again folks and just like every season it seems like we have to remind some people that playing in this league is not free. Maybe in the past we’ve not done a good job breaking down the costs but I am now taking the time to do that with the hopes that it answers any questions you might have about where your money is going.
On a side note we all know these are hard economic times. Many of us have seen reductions in income or lost our jobs all together. If you’re struggling financially get with your manager asap and see if there’s some kind of payment plan that can be worked out. We’re abandoning “hardships” but if you can pay the full amount over a set amount of time that might work. If you know there’s know way you can come up with the money my suggestion you sit out a season until your financial situation improves. Playing football on Sunday is after all a privilege and not a right.
I know that may sound a bit harsh but as managers we can tell you that its the club that suffers when players don’t carry their weight financially.
O.k. off the soapbox, here’s the breakdown:
CFSL (office administration) $294.00
Field Fees (10 games @ 18.50 185.00
Referees (10 games @ 70.00 700.00
Referee assignor & scheduling (8.50) 85.00
Trophy Fee 30.00
Cup Fee 70.00
Web page support 20.00
—————
Total: $1,384.00
22 players maximum per team $22.00 each
Coaches and Managers who are NOT registered players must have coaches’ cards: Cost: $5.00 each. Max. 2 per team.
To drop a player: $4.00
To add a player: $6.00 (transferring from one team to another)
To add a new player: $22.00
Deadline for deposits to secure your team as follows:
Deposit $500.00 due JULY 6th, 2009 (to secure your team)****
Second deposit: $500.00 due no later than AUGUST 1st, 2009 (NO exceptions)
TOTAL FEES DUE BY: AUGUST 21st, 2009 –
Minimum 15 of players have to be registered by: AUGUST 7th, 2009 – for a $50.00 credit.
ALL cards from August 7th, to August 26th, will be processed as an add on player at a cost of $3.00 per card PLUS the $22.00 player card cost.
NO cards will be processed AFTER AUGUST 26th, 2009. (Wednesday)
Everything in red is directly from the league’s website, so let me simplify even further.
To enter a team is $1384.00
Each player registered is $22.00
So let’s say for example you have 18 players on your roster. To get them registered would cost $396.00 which then brings the total to $1384.00+$396.00 = $1780.00.
Divided amongst 18 players brings the individual cost to 99.00.
That however only covers the league. To be a member of St Andrews FC costs $400.00 per team. That $400.00 covers equipment, field rentals, uniforms, end of season trophies, hosting teams from overseas, etc, etc. Some of you are probably saying “well I never come to training”, well as a committee we’re saying tough sh*t. (at least I am)
$400.00 for a team with 18 players is only $22.22 per player. That’s really not a large sum when you figure it cover 6 months of training along with the afore mentioned operational costs. Our old method of collecting $2.00 bucks every practice from players was a complete waste of time and a big inconvenience for whoever was responsible because he/she had to focus on herding cats for spare change instead of focusing on getting in their own workout. With the new system you pay it upfront, come out to training and no one has to worry about anything. NOW DON’T THAT SOUND GREAT????
So long story short your grand total for this season is going to be around $120.00-$130.00 depending on the size of your roster. Like I said before get with your individual managers to find out the exact amount.
If you have any questions comments or feedback, please feel free to post it below.
Have a great season and as a buddy of mine likes to say “all smiles on the pitch”.
