The costs involved in competing internationally is often the reason why many players are not able to travel to tournaments abroad with a coach. I hope that by compiling a team of players for each event the costs can be significanly reduced.
There are 3 main costs for each player.
Trip Fee:
For each tournament week there will be a trip fee per player. This will include:
- All coaching and monitoring of fitness programme
- All food costs for the travelling coach throughout the trip
- All travel and hotel arrangements and organisation of the entire trip
- An end of trip report for the player / parent / individual coach
The Trip Fee will vary depending on when the player commits to the trip:
- Player commits before the tournament entry deadline – £400 TRIP FEE*
- Player commits before the tournament withdrawal deadline – £450 TRIP FEE*
- Player commits after the tournament withdrawal deadline – £500 TRIP FEE*
* These fees can be reduced by becoming a Travelling Squad Member. For more information please contact me.
To commit to a trip a deposit of £250 is required before the entry deadline or the full Trip Fee is required anytime after the entry deadline.
Coach’s Expenses:
The full costs of the coach’s expenses will be split evenly between each of the players on the trip (even if a player decides to return home early). These expenses will include:
- Flights (including flight changes)
- Transfers / car hire / taxis to & from the tournament site (if applicable)
- Hotel bill
Player’s Expenses:
All player’s expenses need to be paid by the player or parent. These include:
- Flights (including flight changes)
- Transfers / taxis / car hire
- All food bills
- Tournament entry fee
- Hotel bill
- Stringing
- Travel Insurance
- Washing / Laundry
Each trip will run with a minimum of 3 players (unless agreed otherwise) and a maximum of 6 players. This means that the most any player will have to pay will be a 1/3 of the coach’s expenses and the least will be a 1/6 of the coach’s expenses.
Payment
A non refundable deposit of £250 must be paid to secure your place on the trip and the balance of the trip fee will need to be paid before the entry deadline. Once the entry deadline has past no refunds can be given for any reason. Parents will also need to pay a £1000 deposit before we travel to cover any expenses the player incurs on the trip (e.g. hotel bill, flight change etc.). The final player costs will then be taken from this deposit and any difference will be returned.
