[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We do travel hockey, and it cost about $14,000 last year. This included fees and travel to in-season tournaments. We also do things on the cheap side, so will drive for anything under 8 hours, there are many families that choose to fly more frequently, so could certainly be several $K more if you choose to do that. In addition, this does not include anything extracurricular like occasional clinics/skills sessions, HS hockey, spring/summer tournaments/camps[/quote]

OP here, I heard hockey was pricy too!  Sounds like hockey is up there with individual sports. Why idea why is pricey compared to other team sports? Limited facilities? More specialized training?

So you have parent or paid coaches? I feel like soccer and baseball use a lot of parent coaches whereas gymnastics, etc uses paid. Wondering if that is similar in hockey. [/quot

Yes dumb dumb [/quote]

Parent coaches are in rec leagues. No, travel soccer and travel baseball generally don't have parent coaches. Travel soccer is around $3000 a year. [/quote]

But they arent full time paid coaches right? [/quote]
