I’m sorry I just don’t believe this. Plus it’s all electronic - you don’t write anything on a form.

Bethesda may be, but he was talking about DCE. They charge 100 for a tryout which is 2x most clubs. Then they have a 200 pretryout camp which is implied you have to attend to make their teams.

What are you talking about BLC is 65 bucks. It’s not 300 but still more than it needs to be.

tells you all you need to know. They already know who the want on the team so it is a complete money grab.

What if all the parents got together and just said “Nope, not gonna be strong-armed into this nonsense.”

Apparently just a DC thing, Baltimore club fees have not been doubled.

Our club’s (girls) try out fees increased from $50 to $125 this year. We have kids in other highly competitive travel sports (through HS) and try our fees have remained flat and are minimal ($25 or less) - if any fee. I’ve read on this board some really high fees. This maybe an obvious question, but is this a new trend for boys and girls lacrosse? It’s not like we can’t afford it; just seems like a blatant money grab and a contrast to other travel sports.
