Lower league salary

[Steve S]

Send a bio to every club in the English Six divisions ( incl. Blue Square, ) .Scottish Clubs , Irish Clubs, Welsh Clubs and anyone else that plays the game This is ASSUMING you are a good player and not just someone who has a "dream", (we all have that)
Send a bio to the head scout, every team has one, find out his NAME with a phone call to the club. then send the bio stating experience, position played, times for 50 yard dash etc, etc. Pictures, video etc very helpful as well. Then follow up with phone call after phone call after phone call till you get a trial.

i heard that some of the lower league footballers get just over 30k a year

well i play for a club in the conference south. i am still in the academy and we train for at least 12 hours a week depending on how well the sessions go. not to sure what our first team's hours are like though but definatly more then us.

as for wages, whenever we ask our coaches what we will get paid if we get offered a cotract for the first team they just tell us to make sure we get there first but as they train more then 12 hours a week and play a match 1-2 times a week (which takes almost all day) they must be earning enough to get by as there wont be much time for another job.

It really depends what level you are at. Conference players can be full time but lower down the leagues you may only get travel expenses. I think at my clubs level which is Ryman Division north, 1 division away from the conference south, £100 a match can be paid.
As for training it is usually done a few times a week.

we are in the blue sq north our players are on £120 the top players £200 train once a week

in terms of getting into a team you either have to get spotted by someone at the club (if your very lucky) or just get in touch with teams and tell them about your footballing background.

With regards to wages, totally depends on the level of club your going to be playing for and the aspirations of the club. Many lower league teams dont even bother with contracts and sign players on non-contract terms wages will tend to be minimal and travel expenses are usually covered. Contact players, ive worked with a few at conference south level that were getting paid £2000 a week, but to be fair they were playing way below what they should of been at the time.

hope it helps,

no wonder they went bankrupt. average is £ 150-200
