[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much are club fees, including tournaments, for the following:

Basketball
Volleyball
Lacrosse
Field hockey
Track

This would be for travel level, not rec or rec plus, and preferably the top and upper levels of play.

Thank you![/quote]

So let's see I have kids that play AAU basketball, travel volleyball and travel lax.

AAU Basketball is the cheapest in the sense of club fees - $1200 plus uniform of about $200. Only had 2 overnight trips so that was only about another $1600. plus another 200-300 in tournament entrance fees.

Travel lax - depends on the club (because I have 2 sons playing for 2 different clubs) fees range between the 2 are $2800 to $4200. Uniform another 200 - 500 or so with one requiring a helmet purchase. For one son, we've probably spent another $10K in travel for his team last year because he plays for a high level team plus another about 2000 to play on national teams. The other son less but still in the 3-4K range on hotels, food, etc.

Volleyball - club fees were $5000 and then another 6-7K in travel. plus 300 to 400 in tournament entrance fees.

So all in probably 25K.[/quote]

So I am this poster and want to state that the travel fees are all in costs. The locations of the events are generally at pretty cool locations and we have made them family vacations so those costs are not just child and parent going just for the tournament but family going to 2-3 day tournament in Florida and then staying 3 or so days to enjoy the weather.[/quote]
