Nope. I’m the bill payer in the house and we don’t have a separate team fee/club fee. We pay one fee.n

Wow - 1900 is a lot less than most are paying, at least in this area.

This is Skyline which isn't really either a fair comparison since they're not in the same metro area as everyone else, nor especially useful since most of us can't join .

All the DMV area teams are much more than this. I think Loudoun is the most expensive down to Arlington and BRYC which are the cheapest.

That makes sense - thanks for clarifying. Would have been helpful if pp mentioned that.

Not sure where you’re getting that Loudoun is the most expensive. Union is $2500 with $500 team fees for $3000 total.

Arlington was $2710 for club fees and $700 for team fees. This did not include the kit and all players were required to buy new uniforms this year.

Team fees vary by age group depending on tournament plans etc. They are often based largely on last year's spending and are adjusted (up or down) mid-season in any case. Usually it's best to compare club fees and assume that team fees will work out the same.

Looks like Arlington has increased the club fees quite a bit recently though as they used to be on the low end. They have been getting greedier as they increased roster sizes in the last couple of years as well.

Can't compare club fees and team fees directly because, as a poster mentioned above, not every club breaks down fees the same into the same buckets, so the only way is to compare total cost that you pay to the club. I understand that not every team from the same club let alone from different clubs do the same tournaments, etc but total cost is the only way to go.

In which case you can only evaluate at year end, because at my DS' club we nearly always got a refund of ~$150+ at year end from the team fees.
