[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Soccer u12 19k for the year.  
The math is shocking, it adds up. And we have college paid for already.
3k club fee, 1k team fee, 1k hotels and gas, 7k summer sleep away camps/ destination expenses, 3k private and skill group training, 1k mentor, 1k physical therapy, 2k equipment.

how do you have $2k in equipment per year!? what is a "team fee" ? what is the $1k mentor, is this not private training? $19k for U12 with traveling and extra private training seems close-ish, but some of the fees you mention are weird.[/quote]

They're just be reckless with the spending. I was a pp who stated U13 Girls ECNL (Top team and one of the top ~25 in the nation this year). No "team fee", no PAID private training (or physical therapy/mentor), and then only 2 out of town tournaments which I guess could be about $2k total being generous. We're lucky to be in the North Atlantic so all league games are between MD & NJ with minimal or no hotel stays for league games. 7k for sleep away camp might as well be a completely separate expense.[/quote]
