I'm trying to figure out both the time comittment, in terms of practices, games, and travel, and the money commitment. Can anyone help?

DS is a GK, so info on GK practices would help too.

DS is at a different MLS club, but rules are the same. Practice must be offered 4x/week. At that level offered means mandatory. Each is 1.5 hours.
Travel is big. Just go to the schedule and you can see where you will be going. They put the schedule out for the full year before the fall season starts. We are lucky in this area because there are so many MLS clubs close. But, you will still be going to PA, NY, and NJ for league games once a year per club. Base cost is usually right around $3000/year.

I know they have GK training. Is that in addition? Like, would my kid have 5 practices a week?
