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

Why is it painful? We have a different system here. Someone is paying for it; nothing is free. No club to help cover costs.

Spending much more for less quality is painful no matter how rich you may be

It may be a lot of things but not painful. Getting fired is painful. Kids soccer is not.
