2008-09 Team Budget and Information
All tournaments and certain events require participation fees and reimbursement of coaches travel expenses. These additional fees are the responsibility of the team.
This team’s expected additional fees for 2008-09 are approximately $9,500 or $600 per player. This does not include travel and lodging for each individual player.
Fundraising can be used as a vehicle to contribute towards these expenses as well as parents splitting the costs. The WFSC does provide fundraising vehicles for teams through the Weston Invitational and its annual golf tournament to assist in offsetting these costs. Teams are also welcome to solicit donations, have fundraisers and sponsors for these costs.
Player Accessory Package: All players are encouraged to purchase a Nike accessory package. These packages vary in price and represent superb savings against retail costs. Orders must be submitted as a team. Players are required to only wear Nike gear when representing the club.
"It was an amazing experience to enjoy and play with some of the top players in the nation. Everything was a challenge both on the field and off the field. Discipline was a very important part of this camp. It was hard to play with people you never played with before. Especially in the pool games. One of my favorite parts of the camp was receiving new soccer cleats and picking up the training gear. It was very difficult for me because most people were really tall, but I tried my best and earned great compliments from the coaches. I learned a lot and enjoyed the camp tremedously", said Ismael Longo.
