[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids sport for 8u registration was $2500. Not including jerseys, socks, or team fees. Practices are only twice a week and games on Saturday and Sunday often out of state. Kids sports is a huge money grab. It's kind of disgusting. In other areas around the country it's significantly cheaper. [/quote]

Sounds like you are playing travel.

Rec is substantially cheaper.[/quote]

It sounds like this poster’s “kids sport,” is actually hockey. It is similar in setup and fees to what 8u pays in my kid’s program for what is basically pre-travel (a house league is cheaper). 8u was cheaper when my kids were that age. Now they use it to subsidize the cost of the older kids’ teams that have a lot more ice time but only pay a couple hundred more.

OP - everyone may get to play, but it really sounds like you’re playing with a club team, not rec. The club may be closest and most popular with your friends, but there’s probably a significantly cheaper rec program nearby. The fees would be outrageous for an actual rec team. For soccer, ours are around $150 with uniform (sometimes just a shirt) included. [/quote]
