Anything2 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Random question, does anyone have kids or know kids who play at pro youth level? My mates daughter plays for Hibs and they pay nearly £40 per month in fees and have to buy all their own training kit etc. I assumed that the clubs covered all those things. Is that common or does it depend on the club? My kids play for the local team for £20 per month and get all their kit included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambo89 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) You would've been better putting this in the terrace. £40 does seem excessive and I am shocked that they don't provide some sort of training kit. Usually, and when I've coached teams in the past, the £20 or so monthly fee's are to cover things like pitch hire and referee fees. Any new kit that was purchased / required was either handed down from the age group above, or additional fundraising was required i.e. bag packing at Iceland or a race night with donated prizes etc. In terms of Pro Youth, I didn't think that players would pay any subs Edited September 17, 2020 by jambo89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was really surprised and made me wonder if the pro youth was being run as a side business rather than for player development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only experience was of Alloa and their pro youth setup, in fact their whole youth teams setups. Must make them a bloody fortune when you see how many kids are in the dildodrill on a saturday morning.
