I have volunteered as a team manager to both my boys’ teams, during 2014-2019. The season fees are spent on gym rentals, coaches’ salaries, office rentals, and admin costs to run a business. Tournament fees in Alberta are usually around 500-650 C$, that are spread out equally per player (who has committed to play in the tournament) in the team. Tournament fees in USA are usually around 600-850 US$, that are spread out equally per player (who has committed to play in the tournament) in the team. The travel fees or “Coach’s Fees” are spent on the costs that incur when teams play outside of Calgary and in USA. Those costs are equally spread out on each player that has committed to travel and play. Sometimes a player withdraws their commitment after the budget has been made and therefore the fees will be edited and raised. Not a single cent from one player or team goes towards another player or team - elite or not. Sometimes, individual players are funded by parents’ donations.
