[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Boy mom here.

Football cleats, lacrosse cleats and basketball shoes are well over $100 apiece...this starts at age 5.

The helmets are over $100.

The lax sticks are upwards of $100.

A baseball bat is $200. Then there's the glove, cleats, special underwear for the cup, bag, batting glove, etc.

Contrary to popular belief, you can't recycle much of the gear. Cleats last one season. The league dictates what kind of bat you can use.

I have four boys. You don't want to know how much we spend at Dicks each year.

I wish I had the chance to buy a frou frou costume for a dance recital. Enjoy it![/quote]

No kidding. My son is playing tournament tomorrow. Registration fees (~$100), uniforms ($40-50), his helmet is $170, gloves are $210, stick is probably about $200 now but the shaft/lacing/head are always in rotation so it's hard to tell. Cleats? Maybe $50-100. Did I mention club, coaching and clinic fees? That's around $1500-3600/ year depending on the teams, camps, clinics, etc.

Did I mention he is also a black belt in taekwondo? $80/month plus testing fees. We are on the long cycle with those now that he has achieved, but they use to be and extra $40 every 4 months. And I have three boys who all do taekwondo and lacrosse.

I must admit that I laugh at your $70/year tutu. [/quote]
