Cost Structure for 2024-2025 Season
Our estimated fees, presented below, are an all-in number. Included are tournament registration, coach lodging, player lodging for 14s-18s teams, coaching salaries, gym space, insurance, and additional costs associated with running the club. We express the all-in fees as a range for each age group below: a unique cost based on their tournament schedule. For example, the 14-1 team will be on the highest end of the range, where the 14-2 team will be near the lowest end.
There is only one exception to the presented fees below: the cost of uniforms. Because uniform packages are individualized, the numbers very, typically by age. Total uniform costs will be available at tryouts.
With tryouts approaching, we are frequently asked about the cost of playing for our club. In an effort to be open, communicative and transparent, we will summarize the cost of playing for A5 South here on our website. We cover this information in the Informational Meetings in detail
When reviewing the cost of playing for our club it is important to remember several things:
- A deposit to secure your spot on the team will be required on the day of tryouts. The deposit goes toward your first payment for the club season
- Parents are responsible for their athlete's travel to all events. This is an effort by A5 to allow families to make their own decisions on travel via cost effective means
- A5 South will handle all player hotel arrangements for teams 14 and up (players stay together). For athlete's 13 and below, A5 provides blocked hotel rooms (players stay with parents
- Teams in the 18s age group have a shorter season which is reflected in the cost
- It has never been a goal of ours for A5 South to be the low-cost service provider. Certainly there are cheaper alternatives available if cost is your only consideration.
- As part of the top-ranked volleyball club in the United States, we feel that A5 South’s true competitive market is among the other elite clubs throughout the nation. Accordingly, we build our tournament schedule and team budgets with those competitive parameters in mind.
- That said; we know that it is expensive to play club volleyball. It is important for us to aggressively control costs wherever possible, and to remain cognizant of how the cost of playing for A5 South compares to the cost of playing for other local clubs.
- Lastly, it is important to note that all of A5 South's 15s-17s teams train through and compete in the AAU National Championships in June. This includes approximately 8 weeks of additional training over teams that end the season at SRVA Regionals. A few local clubs have begun to imitate us in this regard; just make sure that you are comparing training seasons of similar length when you compare cost from team to team.
