Some teams travel by plane or bus to tournaments, plus hotel rooms. I’d expect that to be extra. We paid for private coaching during breaks, camps, extra uniforms, summer team, Xmas gifts. It’s expensive but cheaper than hockey and horse riding.

No one is paying $100/hour for field space if they have an associated rec league.

That’s a heck of a lot cheaper than travel baseball.

If you go to a small club with volunteer coaches you will pay less than half.
