Where does all of the league money go ?

Another post regarding elections got me thinking....Is there an accounting of financials for the State available ? I ask this because as a participating team in the u-14 girls league this season, we paid $750 per team to play in the league...we luckily qualified for State, so I can see that we at least will get some value for our $750, since we do not pay anything additionally....HOWEVER, my team (I manage it) and all of the others in the league had to pay all ref fees for all of the league games (three each), and therefore, teams that did not qualify saw absolutely NOTHING in regards to their $750....totally gone....

 

Am I the only one that has an issue with technically gambling $750 away for the chance to play in the State Cup, in the u-14 league, there were at least 8 teams (8x $750=$6000), only 4 advanced, so $3000 is 'unused', and realistically, is the $3000 from the 4 teams that advance really needed for a two day tournament ? Ref fees/field usage fees cannot possibly even come close to this amount....Now of course, I realize we have overhead with the staff of Tn Soccer, but isn't there additional revenue generated from other sources ? Ie. Association fees, etc. ?

 

I would just like to see some accountability...any thoughts ? Show me (where) the money (goes) !!!

Agreed. I would be interested to see that as well. I feel our State Organization is poorly run and needs a complete overhaul in regards to President and Executive Director.

 

 

Contact Todd Lockhart...

 

I have attached the minutes posted from their last meeting. /flower.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":flower:" border="0" alt="flower.gif" /> Apparently they had the financials there.

David - while I can not tell you where all the money goes, I will mention that the winner of each age in D1 goes to the regionals and there is not another entry fee for that, and TSSA sends several staff members to the regionals and you can be looking at 6 - 7 nights in a hotel for each staff member. I am sure some of the entry fee money for DI league is used to pay for these expenses.

Does it really sound fair for the teams that do not participate (ie. qualify for state) to not see a single thing for ANY of the money they put in ? (Remember, this is coming from someone that has a team going to State, So we are seeing some value for it)....A $750 gamble in my opinion....seems a questionable way to run the program....

Wow...You are serious about this. /popcorneater.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":popcorneater:" border="0" alt="popcorneater.gif" /> You must suspect something. hmmmm. I'll hunt you down this weekend. /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" />

 

Sorry, but if I knew you were that serious than I would have suggested talking with Cleveland Grimes. Also, your association gets to send Representatives to the AGM meeting every year. Perhaps PSA would send you. And if you go take a lot of coffee the committee meetings can get quite s-l-o-w.

I need to correct some numbers in my original post...the u-14 started with 10 teams I believe, so there was actually $7500 generated from the u-14 girls group alone.... and then only 4 teams advanced ($4500 from teams that saw no usage at all, plus the ref fees that resulted)

No, Don't suspect anything, but that sure is a heck of a lot of money generated from Division I teams...and you know me, I don't mind starting a little trouble when I can.....

      school closing in Shelby county

      By TheTruthHurts22 · Posted

      Im more of a Basketball follower than football and like I said we play what we have, there is no going and recruiting or even talking kids into transferring…..and to rebut about Memphis teams in finals I’ve watched Memphis East and Penny Hardaway with the enrollment of a single A team play up and dominate any and all challengers for years! They aren’t the only ones either Mike Miller and son at Germantown put together that super team a couple years ago that ran through the rest of the state! Other teams from Memphis or Chatt or Nash or any large populated area pop up and are relevant out of nowhere every year because they get an influx of talent be it from a new coach or AAU affiliations it happens in football also just like any other sport! I hope these two schools that close join together and get to play the team you support, then you may see it differently! I find it funny some of you think recruiting and resources don’t matter . The county schools get very little funding also but you don’t want to get me started on that part!

      Simmons OUT at GH

      By WaReAgLe3 · Posted

      In a total classless move, Coach Simmons once again shows his true colors. Waits till the day after school is out to let everyone know he is leaving. Fails up to a community college job after a lackluster 2 year span at GH. And do not tell me about the state run that saved a sub .500 season and plenty of whippings by Cookeville and Lebanon.  Looks like the girls job at GH is cursed. Terrible MS program/coaches feeding what is turning out to be a joke of a HS team.
