First you say the FFSA fees are too high http://www.footballnews.com.au/forum/vi ... =7&t=58577 Now you want to add an extra cost. :oops:

Never seen so many whinge about fees. If they're too high, DONT BOTHER with a club and go kick around in the park.

Exactly. Even other members on this forum from a club whinge about another clubs costs.
Why care it may make parents do a U turn in their decision making and come to their club because of this reason. I know plenty who have.

On topic... fees for representative teams are large for some, when you might also have jsut gotten through club fees and/or academy fees. But I gotta say you gotta do a lot of homework too. There are some grants to be applied for either individually or as a team which I certainly found even some officials didnt know about (eg the Australian Sports Commission grants). Plus there are some very generous organisations and people out in the community if you look hard.

For my son, whilst we missed out on the ASC grant, we managed to raise half his rep team fees through fundraising. Just need to be prepared for knock backs and perhaps remembering not to get too disheartened because in the current economic situation of many people, they'd rather help out charities (completely understandable). But you can find ways (legal of course lol).
