The Junior School

I generally advise against starting a junior school when you're just starting out. Juniors are like lottery tickets... they're expensive and they don't usually pay off. Each place in your junior school costs $1,000.00 per week, so if you have 10 junior school places and a very good junior coach, that is costing you at least $15,000.00 per week! That's a lot of money for a new club.

For established teams that have established training programs and healthy finances, a junior school can be a decent benefit because you know for sure what your juniors' talents are. You can also sometimes get lucky and hit the lotto on an extremely valuable junior to sell or train.

But for new teams: wait until you're actually making money.
