[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is trying out to move to a new year-round AAU team, 11-12U. He's only played for large and small non-profits/501(c)3s. For larger team, we paid a spring fee (under $700) for practice space and tournaments; dad coaches. On smaller team parents split costs of tournaments and low-cost, community-subsidized practice space. Both teams didn't play or practice much in fall or winter so cost-sharing fees off season were low. Coaches were volunteers.

We are trying to get a handle on HOW MUCH to budget if he switches teams and to understand the different cost models. We assume the for-profits use "professional" paid coaches and we would pay a monthly fee, varied based on other services (extra training, conditioning, dedicated gym space) provided. But we are also considering 2 teams run by trainer coaches, so we assume we would share costs and split fee for coaches' services.

Can anyone share the costs of their AAU basketball teams, either annually or by season? What other financial questions should we ask? We assume some for-profits require a signed annual contract vs current team only requires seasonal commitment to pay full fee. Our friends' son played with a Mom & Pop team last year but the team struggled due to some parents inability to pay therefore the burden fell on several other parents to pay for the tournaments and practice space in order to keep the team going for the season. We don't have deep pockets and don't qualify for financial aid.

Thanks for any info and insight you can share!!  :D We don't feel comfortable asking financial questions until after tryouts and no info on websites.
