[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really depends on where you are, but in general a 2008 player will pay:
(1) Club Fees - 2,600 to 3,000
(2) Team Fees - 500 to 1000
(3) Uniforms - 400 to 500
(4) Travel league games NC/SC if MidAtlantic - 1800 to 2500
(5) Travel Showcases NCFC/Jeff Cup - 2400
(6) ECNL Showcase Events - 4000 to 5000

Grand TOTAL = 11700 to 14400 per year for 6 to 7 years

Think you're numbers are way off on a few.  Who the hell is spending $2400 for 2 days in Richmond?!?[/quote]

Learn to read, the poster clearly stated two tournaments, NCFC & Jeff Cup for a combined total of $2400. [/quote]

I don't really think it matters if the previous poster can read or not.  Two tournaments/showcases within driving distance does not come anywhere near $2,400.  You are definitely UNDER $1,000 for both. [/quote]

So yes you could theoretically drive every day to Jeff Cup but let’s assume you don’t. At older ages these are 3 day show cases.

So 3 nights in hotel (min 400 dollars). I tank on gas for suv (100). Tournament fees (100). Meals (100)…

I wasn't talking about driving back and forth every day.  2 nights hotel is under $300, Richmond is only 100 miles away.  Let's say you get 25 miles per gallon, you are using 8 gallons up and back.  Maybe add another 4 for driving back and forth to the fields so that is 12 gallons at $3.50 is $42.  Meals might be $100, but similar to gas, if you stayed home the weekend you would be eating and using gas so that $150 is probably half that in added costs.  Tournament fees are included in our yearly fee.  So I stand by my estimate that two tournaments within driving distance is UNDER $1,000.[/quote]

Now add up the cost of two nights in North Carolina because that tournament was included too. [/quote]

Yes, the UNDER $1,000 number was for TWO tournaments.  Please read better.[/quote]

No matter how you slice it, you are looking at min 10K per year for all costs associated with playing ECNL in HS.[/quote]

Definitely not minimum $10,000.  I would say $6 to $8k would be normal.[/quote]
