LFCA management needs to improve ASAP

Re: LFCA management needs to improve ASAP
Just like auto insurance, if you are paying more than $2500 per year (not including uniform) you might be paying too much. Its not what the club promises you you'll get, but what they actually deliver that maters. A quality club should be able to deliver bi-weekly training from professional licensed coaches who are fairly paid; quality practice fields with lights that they control; and Classic League level teams in various age groups with fees included. Bonuses would be a couple of pre-paid tournaments and of course those little "patches". If you are paying more than this, and not getting at least this...then you are paying too much. If on the other hand, you are paying less than this, and still getting EVERYTHING listed, then that would be surprising. My research shows that $2500 annually is about the cost, even with still allowing a small profit for the club to retain and reinvest into its future growth.

Re: LFCA management needs to improve ASAP
Yep. And let's not forget those "fundraisers" (mandatory) on top of those $2500+ fees and the nickel/diming for all of the things required when the club doesn't provide what was promised (i.e., CONSTANT indoor training due to light/lack of fields/etc)...
My purpose of even participating in this thread has been two-fold:
Mostly venting. However, it's to warn/INFORM those that might be potentially uneducated in such matters while also calling out the club for their lack of leadership, integrity and transparency.

Re: LFCA management needs to improve ASAP
sounds to me as though LFCA is an entity to process monies for a bunch of independent teams and coaches. but i guess the kits are worth it?

LOL. Whoever decided on the White kit should be fired. FUGLY.
I am fond of the Reds.... Granted, I could order some knockoffs for half the price.

Re: LFCA management needs to improve ASAP
kay you can stop with the money and fundraiser BS. I have cut checks to LP, Solar, and FCD and the L CHECKS WERE ON THE LOW END. Solar has an equal number of "fundraisers" FCD gives you a break on that. Don' even start with Solar on the field issue. LP has tons of organizational problems that limit the impact of the club and will eventually lead to its demise (not for the better of NTX) but these silly little issues (the patch is my fav) are not it.

Re: LFCA management needs to improve ASAP
Why are you writing checks to all of these clubs? Just curious. What constitutes "low-end" in your opinion? $3k by the time the fundraisers are added on (not including uniform kits) isn't lowend IMHO. Especially when you're also paying for indoor rental fees every week because there are no facilities available with light and lacking craters in the pitch. 
At least we only had 1 additional mandatory fee this year for new fields that are nowhere near us. Sigh.

You keep this up and they're going to charge a "How Dare You Question How We Do Business?!?" fee.

I have multiple kids and have been at solar, FCD and LP both the others were at $3k and solar had the same fundraisers while fcd only had 1. It is my understanding that Texans are also at $3k. That would put LP on the low end of the large club scale. All of the other complaints about indoor rentals are also par for the course in NTX soccer. You could always play for an independent club which would be substantially lower but nah those small clubs don't give you the cache of my kid plays for "X". LP has a ton of serious problems that are detrimental to soccer and development. But the complaints here seem to be mostly BS that can be attributed to NTX soccer in general.
