[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two kids and the costs of their sports stayed about the same when we moved from manhattan, but I am pretty sure we would be at least double the cost by now had we stayed in ny.

nyc - downtown Manhattan
8 year old boy club soccer, club swim
$6000 including fees, travel for tri state soccer games (no overnights) and swim meets (only one that required an overnight stay and was driveable), gear (one time for swim, two year cycle for soccer), Uber/sitter fees to get everyone to practice.

11 year old boy

Rec soccer, club swim and taekwondo 
$6800 including fees, travel for meets, gear (one time for swim, Uber/sitter fees to get everyone to practice, belt test fees.

Currently we are in a smaller city out west
11 year old boy
Club soccer and club swim
$6k including fees, travel for multiple soccer tournaments requiring overnights/flights, travel for multiple swim meets requiring flights/overnights.

14 year old boy
Club swim and rowing 
$8k for fees and multiple meets and regattas requiring flights/overnights.

Our Uber/sitter fees were astronomical in ny. We would pay $50 in Uber fees to get one kid to swim practice twice a week and an additional $50 for the sitter. So we were blowing through $200 a week to get one kid to two practices on the days that I was taking the younger one to soccer. It was crazy.
