Top teams for girls U13-U14 generally attend pre-season tournament, WAGS, Jeff Cup, ECNL Showcase, then 1-3 local tournaments depend on the team.
Then Playoff in summer will be billed separately but probably something like $200 more or less from each player.

Add to that:
- $1000-1500 for coach travel costs
- $500 uniform and gear
- 100% of travel costs to every game for parents AND players (no bus)
FVU is $3,200 + $500 (team fee).
ECNL National league games and training (3 times a week), 3 events included, but no uniforms.
I think most clubs don’t include uniforms.
Is $3,700 a lot?
Union team fees were split into 2 different season, $500 is for fall - winter and another $500 (more or less) for spring/summer.
$1k total just for the team fee? seems like a lot. Maybe the 2nd $500 was to cover additional tournaments or leagues etc.?

$3700 for FVU seems pretty high for just 3 events. VDA, which seems to have the most comprehensive fee info, goes to way more than that and trains 4 days per week per their ppt.

Our coach took his whole family to FL for a tournament.

1000-1500 for coach's travel cost sounds on the high side - that's 18k a season, assuming a roster of 18 players.

Seems to be on the higher end.
ECNL clubs tent to have more events/tournaments than only 3, included in the total fee.

A lot of parents don’t want to come out as annoying asking all sort of details right from the start… it might already put them in the coaches bad side. Just an assumption. Websites should really just provide all the details.
They do the same getting mortgage, car, paying for college? (not asking questions for fear of being annoying)
