Why do we charge a subs fee for our players?

As a club there are ongoing costs associated with, but not exclusive to, equipment, pitch hire, player insurance, registration fees for the leagues that our teams play in and fees that have to be met to affiliate our club with the FA and Sussex FA.

All subs fees are used to cover the ongoing costs of running the club. Once a subs fee is collected, it is invested in the clubs running costs .

These fees must be paid in advance. Therefore, we as a club do not offer a refund on fees if a player decides to leave. The fees that have been paid have already been invested in order to secure and provide the required facilities and equipment for the club and the child's team.
