[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can't speak specifically to any of these sports, but based on the sport I do know about, it will likely vary substantially by club, and could easily run to $3000-$6000 per year[/quote]

Which sport is that?[/quote]

My kid was playing Tier 1 ice hockey.  Club fees ranged from $6000 when we started up to about $7200 when we finished (he played for 7 years).  This didn't include equipment/club required gear or travel costs.  Club gear ranged from $400-$1000 per year, depending on exactly what you bought.  Equipment got a lot more expensive as the kids got older and needed better equipment and adult sized equipment.  For example, skates started at $350 a pair when he started in 6th grade, and ended up over $900 by the time he was done as a senior. Sticks were anywhere from $200-$300 each, and as a 16U/18U player he would through 7-10 sticks a year.  Travel costs were substantial, as we were on the road for 10-15 weekends a year (including spring tournaments).[/quote]
