Cost Of Participation In Youth Sports In Spain Up Around 20% Since '08

The "regulation of personnel in youth sports -- in addition to other measures like eliminating tax exemptions -- could cause what clubs spend to increase by 20% annually," according to Alberto Martínez of AS. Some clubs and autonomous communities have "raised complaints" with Spain's Superior Sports Council (CSD) over concerns "that accounts are not adding up and that they could be close to raising the cost for athletes." One example is Barcelona's Molins de Rei Club de Futbol, with 25 youth teams from ages 4-19, two amateur teams and one for veterans. The amount that parents of youth players paid last season ranged from €365-€395. That figure that has increased "nearly 30%" since '08 due to a "reduction in the public contribution -- from €12,000-€8,000 -- and the loss of sponsors due to the country's economic crisis: this contribution has fallen from €28,000-€7,000" (AS, 4/21).
