Pre-season checklist
Know what to ask before you commit.
One part of SeasonTab, for the moment before a season starts: find out what the club fee actually includes, what it doesn't, and how travel, uniforms, obligations, refunds and withdrawal terms work. Work down this list with the coach or club manager and write the answers next to the money you were quoted.
