[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For 9U we spent about 3k plus some hotel rooms (although most tournaments were driveable within an hour or so, so we didn’t get a room).[/quote]

At 9U you should be playing rec for $200/season. Kids can barely pitch at that age. Stop the madness.  [/quote]

My kid does play rec as well (most travel teams require it at this age). But the kids in rec can goof off at times. My DS gets frustrated when other kids are digging in the dirt in the outfield while the ball rolls past.

Don’t get me wrong, I think there are valuable lessons to rec sports and it’s nice when they can be on teams with their friends. But some kids are really athletic, actually are decent pitchers who can throw strike outs at 9, and want a little more challenge. If that isn’t your kid that is totally fine. But OP seems interested and asked for costs so I shared. Luckily for my family 3k isn’t a particularity noticeable sum of money so I’m glad we can do this for our kid.[/quote]
