[quote=FPYCparent]I haven't been directly involved with other club sports (beyond soccer and volleyball) or other activities (ballet, swim, lacrosse), but I'm not sure that the total costs are [i]drastically[/i] different.

DD played mid-level travel soccer for six years.  We never spent more that $2500 in a year BUT we also never travelled outside of the DMV (Fredericksburg, Hollywood, and Winchester were out longest trips ... and none were overnight).  If DD had pursued a higher-level of play, it would have required higher upfront fees and much farther travel every weekend.  I'm sure that if swim parents, for example, jumped into this thread, they may share similar numbers in terms of total cost.

I think it comes down to understanding what it is your child wants out of the experience.  For us, it was DD earning a varsity HS volleyball roster spot this year after having earned a JV spot without ever playing club.  Mission accomplished ... with an All-District Honorable Mention honor to boot.  Now, DD wants to see how high she can go in this sport.  This required us looking at higher level clubs (and likely the high total costs associated with that pursuit).

If playing varsity HS volleyball isn't a goal for your kid, then I am sure that there is a CHRVA club that you can call home with a relatively-appropriate price point.  I'm not trying to say that any club sport will ever be "cheap."  But, I think there is a reasonable option for your expected outcome.[/quote]
