RCYSC

Many of you have asked the cost of running the club. We worked out a cost per player breakdown to help illustrate how much it costs to support the league. As you can see, the registration fees do not cover all of the cost. We rely on the generosity of our Sponsors and the success of our Fundraising events to make up the difference. Historically, when we do not have enough money, our equipment budget gets cut. Please help us by supporting the success of our Fundraisers. Every little bit helps!

Let's break down the costs and see where that money goes. Here are our costs for 2008 (they do vary slightly from year to year), in no particular order:

Item	Cost	Per Player
Oregon Youth Soccer Association Fee	$3,612.75	$18.07
Uniforms	$1,145.41	$5.72
Equipment + field maintenance, Columbia Co. fee for Hudson Park	$3,108.96	$15.54
Utilies & Portable Toilets	$742.43	$3.71
Registration Costs	$732.55	$3.66
Referees, training & recognition	$1,776.01	$8.88
Trophies & Awards	$1,326.75	$6.63
Total	$12,444.86	$62.23

In closing, you can see that the $40 Registration fee does not cover our operating expenses. Without Fund Raising, we would have to raise the fee to over $75 per player.
