[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. Can someone explain to me why travel soccer is so expensive? You need two goals, a couple balls, and a referee for an hour. The kids usually buy their own cleats, shin guards and uniforms. Why is it $10k?[/quote] I have a travel sport kid, not soccer, and it is from the practices. Add in the gym or field rentals for those, and coach fees for tons of practices, insurance costs, coaching fees for tournaments, coach travel and hotel costs. Factor in the league's advertising and marketing fees, the coach's administrative time and lastly... because parents will pay and the increased cost will make it seem more prestigious.[/quote]
