Player Fee Schedule

Club Finances

WLUSC is a 501(c) organization, making us a nonprofit organization, exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c)(3) as our primary function is to foster amateur sports competition. These type of organizations usually receive exemptions from state and local sales and property taxes, as well. Our club in the past has not done an adequate job of fulfilling our obligations to maintain this status. Our intention and goal is to make sure this processes, systems, and understanding can be easily transitioned to the next elected board. To help make this possible, we are simplifying our club level accounting into three distinct buckets. This process will also help us make the cost, spend, and overall account as transparent as possible.

Bucket 2 | Player Development | $700 per player

The club is standardizing its player development fee across all teams. We understand each team has a coach with varying levels of license, experience, and tenure with the club. Coaches pay ranges from $500 to $1500 a month according to our new fee schedule. Coaches and teams specifically are part of a large group, the club (similar to government... school taxes). The club will be collecting player development fees, accounting for and ear marking for coaches short and long term development. You should expect the club to be using these funds to pay for coaches licensing moving forward, coaches training and development between licenses (this includes getting paid to attend coaching sessions to ensure participation), and finally standard equipment for coaches, and other items...

• This fee is paid directly to WLUSC (through MX Merchant). WLUSC will be taking over the payments of the coaches fees, invoicing and payment of uniforms, and other soccer-related items
• Paid in two separate installments: $350 due for Fall Season (due in August), $350 due for Spring Season (due in February)
• Payment plans are not offered but we can make arrangements with multi-player families
