Additional Financial Considerations

Please note that the Manchester Freedom football team is the member of a professional sports organization. The IWFL requires the teams to play (4) "Home" games & (4) "Away" games and any related Post Season activity. In order to try to minimize initial cost to the players, and due to schedule release dates, the associated costs for travel games "IS NOT" represented in the "Training Fee". Based on when the schedule is finalized by the league and published, theNew Hampshire Freedom actively coordinate travel arrangements and releases the necessary information to the players & staff. In each individual case (game by game) we may travel by private transportation (car pool), charter (bus, rail), or air, and require lodging. Funds will be made available base on available revenue of the current season and destination. We will make every effort to minimize additional cost however we can not guarantee that additional "out of pocket" expense will not be avoided.
