Has anyone experienced a club where they have a fee just to try out? Is that normal?

It is certainly normal in lacrosse.

Who actually pays to try-out maybe it would help for financial aid

Are you more likely to go if you pay for it? This weeds out people that are only casually interested

How sad. Poor kids don’t even have the ability to try out for a team.

Soccer long ago became a pay-to-play phenomenon.

Yes, and you get to pay even more to make the team!

Yes indeed. The wealthy play on all the fancy FC teams and travel and stay in hotels. The poor kids can’t and don’t. When people talk about how the US can’t get up to speed on the global stage in soccer, this pay-to-play, exclusionary model is a big part of the problem
