[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone explain why Virginia Elite is so much more expensive than any other club? I know that travel costs are included for players but as I understand it most parents still travel to all the tournaments.  A VA Elite mom told me it cost them close to $18K last year all in.  $12K for club fees and then another $6000 for all the parent travel.  What are they getting for all that money that you can't get at other clubs? DD was pretty interested this year because she has some HS teammates who play there but we just couldn't make sense of the price tag.  [/quote]

I have determined that it is a supply/demand thing. They practice in McLean where people have a lot of money. They can charge that much and still have a lot of really good players want to play for them, so they continue to do so. It’s as simple as that.

Really from the craziness of tryouts this weekend, it’s pretty clear that any club in this area could charge way more and still have full teams.

It is crazy to me given that basketball has the same costs involved and is about a quarter of the price. Someone is making a lot of money.
