I'll propose two solutions that would be useful and help keep cost down. Of course, I am can only refer to what one club does or in this case doesn't do.

1. Let the u18 who are in the first year of a new uniform cycle wear training jersys as opposed to having to buy expensive uniforms. I remember a few years ago, one team didn't get theirs until State Cup or there abouts. That is a waste of mney.

2. coaches should alternate volunteering for 2 hours a week so players can come out and just play (with just a little supervision for liability sake or to at least open up the fields, instead of charging $300 for 3 coached sessions a week. I know my son wanted to go but his choices were that or the team camp, couldn't afford to do both.
