[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]6:37 - that's about what we spent this year for U9.
$1,800 club fees (going up to $1,900)
$345 team fees (covered 4 tournaments, winter futsal, coach gifts, equipment)
probably $300 in uniforms, cleats, balls, maybe more
$100 for a tent and chairs, but I can use those for other things

plus meals and the occasional hotel when we have an early Sunday tournament game in Ellicott city and don't want to get up at the crack of dawn to drive back there.[/quote]

Jesus Christ!  All that for U9!  [/quote]

This does sound like a lot!

DS participated in the ASA U9 tryouts last weekend, and he'll go back next Saturday.  I'm not at all sure that he will be selected, but if he is, I'm wondering if it's worth it to accept the spot.  I know the answer to this question will vary kid to kid and family to family, but would you say it's worth the time and money to play U9 travel soccer as a 7 year old?  It all seems like too much too soon, but plenty of people are doing it.  Honestly, I kind of wish this wasn't even an option at this age.  [/quote]

Sounds like you should investigate Arlington's Development Program (ADP).  Tryouts will be after Travel Tryouts, and is an intermediate and cost / time efficient way to determine if future Travel Soccer is a real interest.  There is a professional coach practice and a parent coach practice.  All games are in Arlington, and the level of competition is greater than Rec soccer.  My kids did it before entering the Travel program.  It is roughly $300 per semester, and includes the uniform.[/quote]
