*Revenue from families divided by today's estimated roster (~400), so the column moves with the club's revenue, not its size. Reserves are net assets in months of that year's spending.

Revenue from families fell 17% from FY 2015 to FY 2021.

The club kept a surplus 6 years running; its reserves would cover about 9 months of spending.

Posted fees (~$2,625) are well above what the club collected per player (~$1,829). If every family paid the posted price, receipts would be higher than the return shows, so at most about 70% of the estimated roster can be paying it. Many families pay less, through aid, discounts or lower-priced levels.
