$4,500 for regular season play and mandatory sleep away camp for 3 nights
$350 uniforms
$300 “strongly encouraged/expected winter futsol”
$2,000 travel expenses.
So $7,100? And she’s not even on the top team traveling the US. She’s on the second, regional team.

My U12 son was on a 'Travel' club
The facilities had 4 fields, locker rooms, clubhouse and cafeteria.
We paid €300 for a year and that covered everything including travel for the players.
Kids who couldn't afford paid less or nothing.
It was painful coming home to the States and paying more than that just for uniforms
Tell me about it! Boy who is now U16 admitted he hasn’t found decent coach (one exception) that compared to his German coach. Super affordable.
I just hope American basketball players are giving it to Europe as good as ‘soccer loving’ diaspora is giving it to American families. Truly not worth it if you think about it.

Why is it painful? We have a different system here. Someone is paying for it; nothing is free. No club to help cover costs.
DP. It’s painfully obvious that travel sports are pay to play.

Arlington is $3k for Academy level teams, including uniforms, not including team fees and non-mandatory uniform (and clearly hotels, etc)
McLean is 3k, not including tournament fees.
I think they are all about the same. Bethesda is $3500 including everything.
This Bethesda quote is club fees + uniforms?
Bethesda uniform kit, including mandatory crocs was almost $700 this year
depends on what you get. mine wasn't $700 and they don't require you to purchase a new bag.
Mandatory crocs? r u for real?
Mandatory becasuse all the girls want to wear the same. Club does not mandate -- the girls do.
It was mandatory slides. With your players number on then

This is also what we paid at Bethesda for ECNL. Uniforms are expensive, but I am sure that is the case at all these clubs. Are most clubs in the $400-$600 range for uniforms? Slides were a bad step

Not PP but somewhat. There were mandatory slides that were overpriced and ugly. I don’t know if they actually charged the people who didn’t buy them. They said they were going to charge you whether you got them or not.
That puts the PAY in Pay-to-play
Is Tony Soprano the TD?
