hey everyone getting ready uh for aaou
0:04
basketball or travel basketball is tough
0:07
in
0:08
itself um but what a lot of people don't
0:11
realize is that you got to have a budget
0:13
set up before you even start recruiting
0:16
so I have a uh a worksheet that I use
0:20
for budgeting and and that's really what
0:22
this video is all about today I want to
0:24
make it easier for coaches and team
0:26
parents that are out there trying to
0:28
figure out how they're going to afford
0:29
Trav basketball this season how much is
0:32
it going to cost Etc so I'm simply this
0:35
video is really just to go through a
0:37
worksheet that I created um you can find
0:40
a link to it it's a Google Sheets
0:43
document it's it's free right now um you
0:46
know I may eventually choose to put a
0:50
price tag on it so if you're watching
0:52
this video you know later on after I
0:55
publish it and and it costs money you
0:58
know I think uh you know I'm sorry but I
1:00
I guess you just missed out but uh until
1:02
I decide to do that this is going to be
1:04
a free Google Sheets document the only
1:07
thing I ask is you know you download it
1:10
and maybe leave a comment in the uh
1:13
comments just telling me how much you
1:15
either like it or what I can do to make
1:16
it better um and also don't forget to
1:20
subscribe and like the video if uh if
1:24
you do like the video so the first
1:26
expense that I'm going to talk about is
1:29
is uh
1:30
and I I guess I should explain here the
1:33
um the boxes in white is really where
1:36
you should be typing in um throughout
1:40
this
1:41
entire uh worksheet as you can see it's
1:45
you know it's pretty inclusive if I
1:48
forgot something please let me
1:50
know um but at the end here there's a
1:53
section where you can put in the number
1:55
of players the number of months and then
1:57
it'll tell you how much each parent
1:59
should pay I realize that some teams do
2:02
things differently um this is kind of
2:05
how I structured my
2:07
teams um but you know I might be able to
2:09
help you out with changing this up if it
2:13
works out for a lot of different viewers
2:15
so the first thing you want to do and
2:17
there's a lot of organizations you can
2:19
play with you know out there in the
2:22
travel basketball circuit probably the
2:25
most common is aaou but I I leave a
2:27
couple on here just in case you want to
2:29
play for several different teams I will
2:31
say that my my first few years of
2:33
playing or coaching I uh I I I I think I
2:38
signed up for all of them and then I
2:39
started realizing that man I am
2:41
certainly spending more money by doing
2:43
that um so I just keep that in mind so
2:47
you know with aaou it's a it's a little
2:49
bit different than um than the other
2:52
ones where they might charge you per
2:54
team Aus like I don't know uh let's just
2:58
say $15 player so let's just say you
3:01
have 12 players you're looking at about
3:04
180 let's add
3:07
um you know we we'll actually we'll just
3:10
add the 180 on
3:14
there and then and you can do this you
3:16
know guess in once you get your real
3:18
numbers however you want to do
3:21
it and then um you know let's just say
3:25
like you know use an other team another
3:27
organization as well let's just say they
3:29
charge you
3:30
you know
3:32
350 calculates everything up then you
3:35
move into your team
3:38
Insurance let's just say you know I
3:40
really think that most teams can get
3:42
away with just getting one one insurance
3:45
but let's just say that you don't use a
3:48
who includes their insurance per player
3:51
by just simply adding a couple bucks
3:52
let's just say that you pick a team out
3:54
or an organization out that has
3:56
Insurance let's just say they charge
3:57
$150
3:59
for the whole
4:01
team let's say that you need four coach
4:05
Badges and let's say they cost I'm just
4:07
being generous here say $45 each it's
4:11
180 let's say your gym
4:15
rental let's just say you're going to
4:17
spend
4:20
5,000 on gym
4:23
rental H let's let's I know that this
4:26
cost can be different in a lot of places
4:28
let's just go let's go let's go
4:36
2,000 okay and then equipment cost if
4:38
you've been doing this for a little
4:39
while you may not need to buy anything
4:41
but I just threw a couple things on here
4:43
that I thought were relevant especially
4:45
to new teams let's say you know five
4:48
basketballs could cost you you know
4:51
$300 I do have links in my uh Channel
4:55
description for uh the differ size
4:58
basketballs that you would need
4:59
depending on your age group oops
5:00
actually uh we're going to go let's just
5:03
let's just say you're going to purchase
5:04
$50 ball let's just say you're going to
5:07
get five of
5:09
them um basketball bag let's just say
5:12
that's $30 that's important I've lost a
5:14
lot of
5:16
basketballs uh by not securing them in a
5:20
bag at tournaments or even at the at
5:22
practice sessions say say you need
5:25
one
5:27
um jerseys
5:30
you know these are um you know these are
5:33
probably let's just say let's just say
5:36
$100 it's probably going to be a little
5:37
bit more than that but so you got let's
5:40
just say you're going to get 15 I know
5:42
you got 12 players I think that's the
5:44
number we went with let's just say you
5:45
want a little more just in case you add
5:47
a couple players at the uh um as you go
5:51
you know you're going to need some polos
5:52
for your coaches let's just say that
5:54
they are 35 each and let's say that you
6:00
are going to need let's just say you're
6:02
going to need two of them let's say
6:04
you're starting out just two coaches
6:05
first aid kit you know let's just say 50
6:09
bucks administrative items let's say 50
6:13
bucks um practice jerseys let's say
6:18
let's just still 50 bucks these are kind
6:19
of good to
6:21
have um you could probably get a pack of
6:24
them too that's why I'm just going to
6:25
put one and then um
6:30
and
6:32
then cones you know let's say 25 you
6:36
don't need really super expensive ones
6:39
basketball training blocker let's just
6:41
say 60 bucks
6:44
one and uh like a basketball Defender
6:47
another training thing let's just say
6:49
75 not sure how much they
6:52
cost tournament fees I'm not going to
6:54
write down every single tournament that
6:55
you might go to let's just say you got
6:57
one for 350 oops
7:01
350 don't forget to add the service fee
7:03
on here um when you do it online and and
7:06
most of them are they uh they tend to
7:11
charge you like 25 30 bucks for a
7:15
tournament fee so got got a few
7:17
tournaments in there maybe you'll have
7:19
more maybe you'll have less travel
7:21
expenses and here you want to think
7:22
about like are you going to be paying
7:23
for the entire team you know are are
7:27
parents going to take care of this for
7:28
you and and you don't have to worry
7:30
about putting this into your budget I
7:32
would encourage you to think about you
7:35
know if if you're going to want your
7:37
expenses paid you may want to put this
7:40
in um just to uh just to cover some of
7:43
your expenses let's just say that you're
7:44
going to you're expected to you know
7:46
have need a budget of $500 you know
7:49
maybe somebody didn't bring their
7:51
money um and you get stuck with it you
7:53
don't want this coming out of your
7:54
pocket all the time so this what it does
7:57
is it breaks everything down here it's
7:58
it's actually pretty neat
8:00
pops it all down into each category
8:02
looks like your total amount is
8:05
$73.95 and then what you do I have all
8:07
the data stuff so it' be best if you do
8:09
download this not to mess with anything
8:12
um not to mess with any of the other
8:13
things just just type in what you need
8:15
to type in say you got 12 players am in
8:18
the right spot 12 and you're going to
8:20
have your season five months so each
8:24
parent should you know you'll have $123
8:28
125 for each parent I would round that
8:30
up to about 130 just so you have a
8:32
little extra money to play with and and
8:35
then just kind of figure out how you're
8:36
going to do it I like to start my
8:37
parents off early like a month prior hey
8:40
parents during its parent meeting our
8:42
season starts you know next month we
8:44
have 30 days um you know the first
8:48
payment is due you know whenever but
8:51
like keep them on an early schedule so
8:52
that you're not having to pay this stuff
8:53
out of pocket anyways this is the uh
