League fees , who is for them ?

[jeff]

We are going to start charging league fees for the Spring season in the MOMFL . I feel that this needs to be done to get a commitment out of everyone. The fee will be about $40- $50 and if all of the teams games are completed then a refund of half will be given. The fees will go to a web- site, trophy and maybe something for the winner and runner up and any other thing that might come up.
Does anyone else's leagues charge a fee , and if so how much is the fee ?

....$100 in the LAEFL league. We look to lower that one day but as it stands it is a c-note!! DFWEFL is about 40 or 50 bucks but I will let Reg chime in on that one. That one I really don't know!!!

You need league fees! We usually are around 30-35 bucks. We have anywhere from 22-24 coaches. We have to pay for the facility. Buy trophies. We have a spread of food for the super bowl. And we pay for game clocks, or whatever the league may need.

If you luv playing, you gotta pay!!!!

...we just freeload on whoever's house we play at, constantly begging for food and drink without EVER pitching in a single rusty penny!!!

Prolly why we haven't finished a season since 1976!!!!!!!

COACHES,

In anything you do in life it requires money. every league should have some sort of fee to absorb future cost for variuos instances. I feel $100 dollars is reasonable. The money can be spent on important factors and for the upkeep of your league.

yes, ............the fee should be something that says " I'm committed", ........how much will a guy walk away from?

I think anything from $50.00 and up is reasonable to get commitment for a season.....................for a first year, I think $100.00 is certainly reasonable.

We have fees of $25 in the BMEFA. In return, we have a dedicated place to play games, a load of trophies/medals at the end of the season, and even on top of that, we have a league member who always opens his home to all of us for the playoffs (whether he's in them or not) and his wife cooks a large batch of food for all of us.

When you consider we had 5 game dates (6 with playoffs), and those days go about 6-7 hours each - that's $25 for 35-40 hours of entertainment.

You can't find that anywhere else.

I always thought that League fees were essential because of the high cost of trophies.

It is also a good gauge of the committment level of the coaches in the League. The most important thing about League fees is to collect them on time.
