[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In high school, its fun just being part of the team.

For club, you are paying for your kid's soccer
development. Totally different.[/quote]

HS soccer is not free either. Cheaper than club since it’s not year round. But between the cost and time commitment, it’s a lot to just sit on the bench. [/quote]

What are your HS soccer costs?[/quote]
NP.  We pay dues for our public HS team which cover the costs of meals for the players after home games, food for host parents to serve to the kids at team dinners, and expenses of end of season celebrations.  We also are expected to volunteer to sell tickets and handle the concessions stand.  It’s far cheaper than club (several hundred dollars vs. several thousand) but not cheap for a season that only lasts a few months max.[/quote]

These are all nice to have expenses- not costs associated with your kid playing HS soccer.  Your kid can still play HS soccer without funding family meals. The cost to actually play the game in HS is covered   (you can’t actually play without refs, fields coaches- none of which you are handing over a check for). So yes HS soccer is free and supported by your taxes. You may choose to pay for all this extra stuff but it’s not soccer costs.

Club soccer on the other hand you pay for the refs, the coach, the field- this is your dues. It’s not even in the same stratosphere

If you can’t see the difference between the two you have bigger problems….
