(a) The Association has failed to plan the income and expenditure estimates of the youth league accurately at the beginning of each year, and has been keeping a close watch on the cash flow in and out of the league for a long period of time, so as to make prudent adjustments. Did the staff responsible for organizing the league actively look for cost-cutting adjustments to the league before there were signs of cash flow or imbalance in revenues and expenditures? Unfortunately, in the first three years of the league's existence, there was an imbalance in income and expenditure, and the league was in the red for many years and had to write large amounts of cheques, making it difficult for the league to continue to operate this year. Therefore, this article on the organizers and participating teams to share the costs, explaining the costs and risks of cross-county and city still to be controlled together, and further let readers understand the practice of subsidizing the transportation of the teams, so that the registration fee is not enough to cover all the expenses on the day of the game at the venue, but also because of the cost of transportation of the participating teams to the venue, passed on to China.

The ball association has led to financial snowballing.

At present, the development process of the national soccer industry, Taipei City, the earliest start and the most developed, New Taipei City, Taoyuan City, Hsinchu City, and now also the latter, so that North Taiwan has long been accustomed to participating in soccer players are with the concept of user fees. Large clubs or school teams run by clubs or associations in Northern Taiwan have to pay the China

The Ball Association's entry fee of $30,000 for the entire 2022 youth league should be fine. However, the association is too idealistic in the way it handles the tournament, resulting in a high cost per game, rather than striving for something first, then something better, and continuing to optimize each year! Even with the industrialization of soccer that is so commonplace in Northern Taiwan, if the costs were to be fully reflected in the youth leagues, how many teams would still be able to afford the high entry fees for the youth leagues? Moreover, if the NT$30,000 entry fee is applied to counties and cities in the south-central or eastern remote areas where the soccer industry is still in its infancy or in its early stages of development, can the high-specification youth leagues still be applied in the same way?

This geographical or urban-rural divide, I'm afraid that a number of soccer parents who look at the big picture from Taipei, it is difficult to understand the youth league many participating teams, there is a national youth team to cross-county and municipal leagues have structural difficulties. Even if the soccer parents recently sought to legislators to present their case, to pressure the Sports Department to subsidize the Chinese

I'm afraid that the ball association has resumed the youth league, and I'm afraid that the Chinese

The ball association to handle the youth league program, must also change course to avoid repeating the income can not make ends meet, and then repeat the tragedy of dragging down the financial and cash flow of the organizers. The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is very hard to feel. Taipei City and New Taipei City clubs or teams can accept the registration fee, I'm afraid that in the central and southern and even the eastern part of the team may not be able to accept! Some soccer parents to open the survey asked to increase the price increase how much acceptable? I have to handle the experience of the tournament to pour cold water, set the price of the registration fee is not the market price that shouting, shouting up how much is how much but nothing to this, in the form of child's play, ridiculous questionnaire survey to decide. All of this must eventually return to the youth league before the handling of the organizers to weigh the cost estimates for the handling of the youth league, to all interested teams to participate in the league to discuss, consult before the final decision.

Due to the fact that the Chinese

Ball Association to organize the 2022 Youth League stadiums throughout Taipei City, Taoyuan City, Hsinchu County, Taichung City, Chiayi County, Tainan City, Kaohsiung City, Yilan County, and other administrative districts, the participating teams in the country's counties and cities will inevitably raise the team across the counties and cities, soccer stadiums by soccer stadiums to increase the cost of transportation, food and lodging. If the whole team chartered a tour bus single day market price, first look at the distance to and from the county and city, and then look at the weekend holidays or weekdays, but basically in more than 12,000 yuan, and even doubled to 42,000 yuan of the spectrum, and this does not take into account the package to the tour bus driver's tip and the basic food, transportation and safety insurance and other small expenses. If the whole team takes high-speed rail or Taiwan Railway individual round-trip tickets, it depends on the team and the location of the game, but no matter what, as long as any team makes a single trip across counties and cities to travel to and from the game, the transportation of the team staff and its related costs alone will be tens of thousands of dollars.

Transportation, along with meals and even overnight accommodations for the entire team to move to the tournament, cost tens of thousands of dollars, and were in fact disguised as a weekend intercity tour of the country, with only the theme of the soccer tournament! So, instead of asking the Ministry of Education's Sports Department to cover the cost of the nearly $6 million in transportation subsidies generated by the 2022 Youth League with the taxes paid by the entire country, the concept of user fees should be implemented and the clubs and their players' parents should pay for the costs themselves. If the youth league is reopened, it will still follow the same practice as in 2022, with the Chinese government paying for the transportation subsidy.

The ball association has been subsidizing the teams, and I'm afraid that the loss of transportation costs will continue to increase with the size of the youth league in the future. In the future, as the number of teams and fixtures grows each year, the cost of transportation subsidies is expected to exceed $6 million or even $10 million. However, the expenses for such a group soccer-themed trip will cost the Chinese government a lot of money.

The ball association, or even the Ministry of Education's Sports Department, pays for it, right? Should they?
