[quote=Anonymous]I have a son that plays Select soccer that charges 1600 per year and little league baseball which is about 150 every spring and fall and is on the ski team in WV which costs about 1200 per season.  (Son is 9)

The soccer uniforms are around $100, I think. We buy the cleats when he outgrows them. I can't remember right now. Baseball gives the kids a hat and jersey each season. We buy new baseball pants and cleats when he outgrows them.  We bought the ski race team jacket for $275.  We own a place in WV so it doesn't cost us every weekend we are out there.

Soccer only has 1 or 2 tournaments where we need to travel and stay overnight.  Baseball doesn't have any right now.  We only do the ski races at our home mountain.  We could travel but he does the ski team for the practices and the comraderie.

If it were up to my son he would also join flag football and basketball.  There are only so many hours in the day/week/season and there would be conflicts, so we limit his participation.  He did do a flag football pod where he got together with some coaches 1 per week to scrimmage with his friends who were a part of the pod.

For us it isn't too outrageous yet.
