The guidance below relates to all of our youth teams. The Mini Soccer School and the men's team operated differently.

The club receives income from player subscriptions for the relevant season.

From this, the club covers certain costs:

1. One training slot per week per team on the 3G at Hinchingbrooke between September and May (inclusive, except for any periods when the facility is closed)
2. Cost of pitch hire for home league and cup matches (not friendlies)
3. Cost of any referees appointed to home league/cup matches by the league
4. Cost of registration with the FA and Leagues, including FA insurance
5. Presentation Day venue and a club chosen trophy for each player plus three club chosen special award trophies per team
6. Cost of DBS checks and courses required by coaches/officials of the club
7. A reasonable number of footballs and first aid kit/refills
8. The club may choose to partially or totally cover the cost of other club events
9. Other costs incurred (e.g. website and domain costs, bank fees etc)

Teams have an individual team pot (separate to the club revenue and costs above).
Teams can raise funds through:

1. sponsorship
2. fundraising events
3. helping out at our tournament etc.
4. the club also currently transfers an amount per player registered and paying before the 31/8 each season to the relevant team pot - for 2025/26 this is £15.

Team pots have to pay for:

1. players kit
2. any extra equipment not provided by the club
3. any fines received by the team or its players
4. any pitch hire or referee costs incurred associated with friendly matches
5. any events teams choose to have
6. cost of entry to tournaments, including our own
7. any other miscellaneous team costs not covered by the club.
