You may be aware, the Summer Soccer Schools format is changing in 2013. The FAI want to make the camps more affordable so the price is coming down by €30 approximately. There will be a flat registration fee this year of €65. Clubs can earn €30 per participant and out of this €30 clubs look after coach payments and provide the venue. This is a great way for clubs to generate extra revenue and attract new members. There are parts of the country that wouldn’t traditionally run the summer camps and the FAI hope that clubs in these areas may see the benefit for themselves and the young people in their communities.
