[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate to say it, but if more parents + girls understood what they were getting into, there would probably be far fewer at tryouts. 
 if you make a team: the amount of time spent at tournaments (all day!), the number of tournaments (most week ends!)  the cost of hotels + travel. Costs go far beyond club fees. [/quote]

THIS. It is easily $10,000+, for just all the costs of a mid-low level regional team.  People have NO idea. [/quote]

Wait, how in the world you you guys figure that? We are going to pay $3,000 for DD's club fees (including uniforms, coach travel, and general fees).  There will be 2 overnight tournaments involving hotels (1 is "stay to play" rooms are under $200; other we do Airbnb for under $100), and sure food, gas, maybe another hotel for a 2 day tournament if we don't feel like driving an hour each way twice... but even assuming $4,000 for all of that, where in the world are you saying another $6,000 comes in? And this is for one U14 club team, and another DD in U16 (maybe $500 more expensive than U14 for us).  And this is a high demand club.  Where are you saying the other $6,000 is we'll have to pay?[/quote]

It totally depends on the team that DD plays for. First off, some club dues go over $5k. A lot of teams for girls 13+ travel to multiple multi-day tournaments out of town, some of which require flying. Hotel+travel (gas/tolls or flights/taxis)+food for 2 can = $5k+. Basically, there is a wide range for how much club volleyball can cost. [/quote]

As soon as you mention $5k club fees and flying to tournaments, you're talking Travel team.  Most of us here talking "Club" mean regional, no flying, hardly any overnight stays, and almost always less than $5k in fees.[/quote]
