Yes it's typical.

Some clubs collect everything upfront including tournaments and coach's travel expenses. In these cases they likely over budget to cover unseen price changes or event changes.

Others they collect a club fee that is the same for all and then team fees that cover tournaments/coach's expenses as not all teams do the same tournaments or number of events. Some only do local, others more travel requiring the coach to have travel expenses covered by the team. In this case what is not used up gets returned to the family. You only pay for what you use but it is a bigger pain having to collect it separately.

Yikes, ours was under $500 last year and I still whined a lot about it. 😆

We are at $3700 all in (club and team fees) at another DMV MLSNext club. At a non-MLSNext club for another one of my kid, it’s about a $1000 less but also includes everything.

Seems really stressful to have to deal with collecting team fees!

You don't see the amount because it depends on several factors such as the number of tournaments, away vs. local tournaments, etc.

If the club is honest, the team fee will be different depending on exactly which tournaments the team registers for as they all have different fees. Coach expenses are cheaper for local tournaments.

Typical for MLSNext and ecnl.

There are multiple threads about this already. Yes, it is typical for SYC.

So how much are club fees and team fees?

We only pay a club fee (I’m assuming it has tournaments and coach travel built in) at our MLSNext club.
