Subs
Clonee United charge an annual subscription fee which covers all costs of playing and training with the club during each following season.
This includes:- Insurance, All weather & Indoor Training costs, League Fees, Cup Fees, Referees Fees, Equipment, Pitch Fees and Marking, Kit Wash.
We do not impose any other or ongoing costs on parents throughout the season so the cost is shared out by all registered players. This annual subscription is reduced where there is more than one family member registered, (regardless of age).
This means that parents do not have to find money on a weekly basis, or on a "pay to play basis".
Clonee United does not have tenancy or subsidised access to Indoor and All Weather Training Facilities enjoyed by other clubs in Dublin 15. Nor are we in a designated area which can avail of state grants and assistance.
It has therefore been necessary to rent training facilities outside of the local area as well as rent playing pitchs from Fingal County Council.
We remain committed to providing affordable, community based football within the local area of Clonee and we very much appreciate and look forward to the continued understanding and support of local parents.
