Plus $100 to $400/family that you might have generate via various fundraisers to cover extra tournaments, indoor practice field fees, or other expenses not included in the fee.

It is a business and the existing demand will support the current prices.

Why? Because we have a coach-driven program here in NTX. But, it takes two to tango. So, as long as people will pay $3k to be on the 8th team in a club's age group, nothing will change. It's all about the bumper sticker.
Look at the current U10 group. Over 70 academy teams preparing to go "select". More than 1000 kids. Nothing "select" about it.

We "select" who to give our vacation fund money to each year Sorry kids, we can't go to Disney World anymore...Lucas plays select soccer now. lol
The other things to factor in is gas, especially for those that live a good bit outside the metroplex, food, snacks, energy drinks, spirit wear for the parents, etc...
Ok, I better stop or I might start really adding this stuff up and decide my dd can go back to rec.

Re: Select cost
Some teams/clubs will publish budgets for you which will describe in loose detail where the money is going. Some teams will not publish budgets and you will be left speculating where the money is going.Mwgn wrote:To those of you who have been through this "select" process, where does all the money go? To pay the coach or some fat cats at the clubs? With so much money to go around, maybe it take the fun out of soccer for most of these kids. I can feel the pressure build up before every game on the sideline for the parents. I just hope most coaches try to keep it fun for these girls. After all they are 10 year old kids. They need to enjoy their childhood while it lasts. Maybe there is a better way beside this "select" thing. I'm just dreaming, I know.
