[quote=Anonymous]I will say this…I actually founded a travel organization with the intent that it would be volunteer parent coaches supporting one paid coach and the fees would be set to cover 100% of just costs (umpires at games, some shared batting helmets (like 5 per team), one set of catcher’s gear, jerseys, tournament entrance fees, and field permit fees). It added up to more than you would think. This was maybe 8 years ago and the direct costs were like $800/kid for a 15 person team. The one paid coach was getting $2000 for the season for two practices per week, mainly DH on weekend and two tournaments. We didn’t do any overnight tourneys so we didn’t have to cover any travel costs for the coach. I would imagine just those direct costs today would probably put it at $1200+ per kid. So use that as a benchmark to determine if anyone is getting rich off their travel fees.[/quote]
