So now everyone posting what they heard i will add Sydney futsal $560 Quake $530 Sce $480 Phoenix $520 Botany $460 Dural $400 (quoting vor) All different venues so unless venues charge all same price then no one should be comparing fees Why not compare fees? That comment is just as ludicrous as the "dangerous ground" one that started all this! No doubt there would be some variance in venue charges but given how many paying players there are to a club, I doubt whether it would have much bearing at all. Do the maths!

You still do not see my point RR: all we have seen here is "I have heard" + "my news", that is not firm evidence that they are the actual figures. Only Boomerangs have published their costs and I have told you how much my club charges and what we provide for the money, everything else is hearsay... until the clubs come out and confirm it.

I think you will find boomerangs fees are low because they charge weekly match fees on top of $310 plus $65 for new players. Of course it looks great on their website. They dont include hidden costs, most other clubs charge everything included.

The fees from one club to another do vary, as does training, venues, kits, websites, coaching etc etc. I don't really know what the point is of comparing fees, unless you know the full details of what the clubs offers.

Seems like many want to whinge about comparing fees.
As I've said before you want to announce your trial dates on here, so why disclose your fees and what bang for your buck people get.
With what Dural offers, I would've been putting that out bigtime, very impressive!
Is called marketing your club!
I'm sure when people take car insurance out, they shop around for what the cost is and what's included.

How much a club charges in fees has little to do with where people choose to play. (After their first season anyway).
After 5 years in Premier League I know there are some clubs we would never consider playing at not because of fees or location, but that some individuals (parents) are best taken in very small doses. And I am sure the feeling is mutual.

Regarding marketing.
Nothing markets a club like success.

How can parents even consider shopping around for better prices and value for money? We have had players at our club for years and have never questioned fees. If a kid is happy at a club are you going to put them in another club just to save $$ and kid not happy? Or 2 schools offer same educational curriculum, but one offers every kid an ipad but fees are same, are you going to go value for money cause you get an ipad or are you going to go where the kid is happier to go. Unfortunatly not every club can charge same fees. I know as a parent when it comes to making these decisions for my kids, i look at where i think they will be most happiest, you cant put price on coaches, team mates etc, kids (mine anyway) dont care brand of gear or venue etc, i will make my choice by where i think my kid will be happy.
As much as i love futsal and passionate about the game, i dont agree about all the training mentioned in previous posts. The sport is still where it was 15 years ago, yes there are more players playing but what future do they have?... What are their goals? 2% chance making the national squad and playing for Australia, taking unpaid leave from work, risking job etc or the 0% chance of making the Australian womens national side because there isnt one. I know im going to get crucified for the above comments but its just my opinion. Kids should not be forced to train and i know others agree, as thats the reason why they have signed up with us.

I know times are tough and it is even harder when you have more than one kid playing.
But I want people at my club because they want to be there not just because we may be the cheapest. Each to his/her own I guess...
