[quote=Anonymous][quote]We are between $22-25K per year on figure skating. I think the coaching fees are the worst and it's a little different sport in that it's individually coached. So 4 lessons per week ranging between $40-50 per half hour, plus skates, costumes, ice time and travel.[/quote]

Ouch.  That might be where we are headed.  What level is your DC?  DD7 (landing her single jumps through flip) just ramped up the skating and is doing 4 freestyle sessions, plus two 30-minute private lessons, plus an additional off-ice session per week.  Cost per week is about $40 for ice time and $30-40 per private lesson, plus the off-ice session is $140-ish for 7 weeks.  So we are close to $500 per month already.  Plus new skates (Edeas), which were $260.  As she advances, there will be more ice time and private lessons, competition costs, etc.  But she is committed and loves it, so we are doing it.

DD8 does team sports, and so far just at the rec league level, so it's not terribly expensive.[/quote]
