JUNIOR REDS TEAMS

Costs & Subscriptions

 

The Junior Reds FC is a non-profit making organisation. Managers and Club Officers do not receive any form of remuneration and provide their time entirely free. Any grants awarded must be used specifically for designated projects and cannot be diverted to fund the day-to-day operating activities of each team. It is sometimes thought the Junior Reds are financially supported by Charlton Athletic Football Club which is incorrect.

 

The operating costs for a team each year are very high at about £3,000. An analysis of this is shown for information in the Table below.

 

These team operating costs are funded exclusively by membership subscriptions. The subscriptions are charged at £20 each month, and are paid continuously for the period a player is a member of the Club.

 

Many teams charge a weekly or monthly higher subscription over the shorter 9 month traditional football season period. The Junior Reds collect the subscriptions over a full 12 month calendar period (i.e. inclusive of the Summer period), to help spread member personal outgoings.

 

Subscriptions are collected simply and efficiently by Standing Order from the Member Player's Bank. This form is completed and returned to the Club Treasurer for presentation to the Bank (via the Team Manager). Managers are therefore able to concentrate exclusively on the children and team affairs during match days.

 

It is very important subscriptions are paid and kept up to date. Without this Parent/ Player commitment the Club would rapidly go bust!

 

If financial difficulties are experienced then this can be discussed in confidence with the Club Treasurer, Linda Jackaman. If Players do not honour their joining commitments and responsibilities then regrettably they will be deemed to have left the Club.

 

Playing kit is provided from these monthly subscriptions. Unlike most other teams, no Annual Registration or joining fee is required.
