Of what this club spends, about 53% to coaching and staff, 20% to fields and facilities, 16% to tournaments, travel and equipment.
Read from the club's own filing, which lists what it spent by kind. The full split, year by year, is further down the page.
Is the club on solid ground?

Clubs in this position often raise fees or add charges during the season to close the gap. Worth asking before you sign.
