[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“I don’t understand this post. If you think it’s a waste why are you doing it? Are you so weak minded you can’t say no to your kid? Or you are afraid your “friends” will think you aren’t rich enough to afford it? Why go along with it? I’m genuinely curious how is anyone forced into paying for something they don’t want.’

[b]When you sign up for a team in February, you are committing to something that will last for the next 16-17 month.  At the time of commitment, there is no calendar, no travel schedule, and no total bill.  Therefore it is extremely easy to be surprised by the end of the season at how much money the actual cost of your commitment is.  Hence, the existence of this blog. [/b] [/quote]

That's disappointing for you that your club operates that way.  Going in, club makes it clear to us what showcases we will be attending and when they are held along with other events. We also know what teams we will be playing and while not the dates where we will be going for league games.  We pay one bottom line price that includes uniforms, showcase costs and other player fees.  Our travel to events and hotels aren't covered, but that's known upfront.  We have been able to plan a bit that was and it does help with associated costs.

Are we thrilled that ENCL playoffs have been held on the west coast since our DD has been playing?  No.  Are we happy that her team has qualified each year?  Yes, absolutely. We have used one of the trips to Seattle as a family vacation and same with the first trip to San Diego.  Won't be doing that this year, but that's fine.

Showcases - yeah, going to Florida, Texas and such for showcases can be a drag, but we know where are what we were getting into when we committed.[/quote]
