[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yawn. There are money grabs all over youth sports. Just be lucky you don’t have kids who play hoops. At tourneys, most places charge 8 bucks per person to watch your child, grandchild, sibling play ball. [/quote]

Curious.  Do they charge the team to register and play too, or is the $8 the way in which the tourneys recoup costs?[/quote]

Both, and at all ages.  As a comparison, it would be like the Arlington tournament charging all of the teams a fee to sign up and participate in the tournament, and then charging each parent, grandparent and sibling $8 per person to watch the soccer games.  So if you are a family of five, and if you, your spouse and your other two kids want to watch the other child play soccer in the tourney, then you are paying $32 on Saturday and $32 on Sunday for the privilege of standing on a sideline and supporting your child.  U8 - U19.  It is absurd.  I would not be surprised if the same is true for volleyball, but fortunately we don't have a kid who plays.[/quote]
