I've been around club soccer a long time and have 2 kids who play but don't know the answer to this - how do most clubs handle the team fees for scholarship players?
I know the club decides with the player and coach how much the player has to pay to the club, but what about team fees? It's always been my understanding that a scholarship player pays full team fees, however one of my kids is on a team now where someone (the manager, coach, both?) decided 4 players wouldn't pay team fees and instead the rest of us would have to pick up the tab. That seems really unfair to me. In reality, if they asked me I'd likely be ok paying extra, however the fact that it was decided without any input by the parents who are now being required to pay extra just seems wrong.
