Probably the club the clearly spells out in writing what you actually get for what you pay not the ones where you find out later that the uniform is extra, ect.

My kids play for FSA and everything is spelled out on their website....why would you have to pay for your own uniforms? Shouldnt that be included in the fees?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIn terms of total value, Guilford Premier is a pretty good deal I believe. It's more of a glorified - upper level travel team but they play in the lower level premier divisions. The cost-benefit analysis is very positive unless your dreaming of D1 showcase tournaments.

I'd hate to speak about details - but my general impression is that you'd probably be looking at a cost of about half or less than half of what the non-town associated premier clubs charge. The team would play in the CJSA. I think they go to a couple of tournaments nearby, like Needham, MA and Wallingford and their own Guilford tournament.
I don't believe they offer a "premier" type team at all the youth ages though. It might be limited to the age range when many kids start departing town travel soccer for premier (like ages 12, 13, 14).
Check out their website.
This is the link specifically to the Premier team page not the home page:
http://www.guilfordsoccer.org/Page.a...fordsoccer.org
Cost says $975 not including uniforms and tournament fees.
One other thing I forgot to mention - The three times I've seen them play in the last 2 years I did notice that they have a boisterous sideline goup of parents. Not everyone's cup of tea.

Doesn't sound like a great deal when you figure Guilford will be playing in all the Qualifying Groups. Sounds like real expensive travel not affordable premier.
