The basic registration fee paid each season by team members is intended to cover all Club Expenses for the basic program designed for all travel teams including a per player fee payed to LVSC general overhead account as levied to the travel program for a seasonal year. The per player fee is up to $750 per player per playing season (Fall/ Spring) and can be increased or decreased only by majority vote at the June annual meeting. This basic program includes participation in all league scheduled games, league registration and insurance, use of fields, professional training (minimum 8 1.5 hr sessions during each season), referee fees during league play and fees for participating in one or more tournaments per season should the team budget allow. Travel teams are encouraged to fit their programs within the structure and expense of the Club's basic program but have the ability with approval from the parents to raise additional funds for the direct benefit of the team provided those funds are spent on reasonable and customary expenses for running a travel team.

A budget for Discretionary Team Expenses for the following fall and spring seasons shall be set at the end of the spring season (June annual meeting). Each coach shall have full authority to spend the Discretionary Team Expense amount budgeted for his team on tournament fees, facility rental, uniform expenses, additional training, additional referee fees and any other expenses arising from Club activities that benefit the team as a whole, at any time between the start of the fall season and the end of the spring season, including the winter, subject to the Club's policy on payment of Club Expenses. All unused funds will be carried forward on behalf of a team after the end of the spring season.
