A few questions for those of you who know about underage football...

I'm looking at entering a team at U-17 level (probably in the Drogheda League) and I have a few questions which hopefully you'll be able to answer as I'm a bit of a newbie at the whole thing.

1. What sort of fee do Referee's/linesmen usually ask for? (Maybe Ref can field that one?)

2. Do you have to pay a fee to enter into a league and if so what sort of money would we be talking?

That's basically it. As you may've guessed we're a bit short on money and I'm trying to figure out what sort of money I'll have to put into the whole thing.

Of course if anybody wants to make a sizeable donation...:D

I coach a few teams and the ref usually costs €28.50 a game. You pay if you are the home team.

Not sure about the entry fee. think its about €50 per team but could be wrong. The league would tell u anyway.

Cheers.
