Board member in Forest Lake. Although I am from Chicago they did teach us how to
read and do math but thanks for the lessons. In FL, at Pewee A registration is roughly $1300. The Pewee A coach is reimbursed expenses up to $1500. Half is paid by the association and half by the team. $750/15=$50 and $750/450=$1.66 for a total of $51.66. $1300-51.66=$1248.34. By my Chicago math still a long way from $900.

And where does the association get the money???? Not saying that this particular amount gets you down to $900 by your math but it's a little disingenious to say it's "paid by the association" whent eh association gets it's money from it's parents and/or it's parental volunteer fund raising activities so parents still are paying the full amount either way. That said, how much is ice time in MN, last I remember it was around $200-$250 per hour in that area but maybe I am off. But if so where is the rest of that money goign because it sure isn't being recouped in ice time or ref fees whihc are the overwhelming majorty of where assoications spend their money???

Isn't an association by definition a collection of members organized in support of a common interest. So wouldn't I be inferring that the cost was bore by the parents (members). The point is that coach compensation is not even significant in the difference in cost as was suggested previously. What I can say is our association provides its members a detailed breakdown of the allocation of fees. See for yourself here is the link: http://www.flhockey.org/page/show/100583-registration

Thanks for the breakdown, you guys really get the screws put to you for alot of frivolous costs that have zero value from what I can tell. "Memebership fee", "Dryland Fee" (how does dryland cost anything?), "Facility Fee" (is that like undercoating on a used car?), FLAAA Admin Fee (ok....???), Association Costs (?? is that the coach salary??). To be fair tournament fee is separate fee down here on top of association fees. but if we go to two tourney's it usually is under $100 for both. Glad I live where I do

On our Pee-wee A team we opted out on the Dryland, I took the kids up to the highschool and did our dryland in the gym/weightroom/indoortrackarea.
