Sorry Zen, My kids have played travel Premier soccer, SCJGA golf, travel volleyball,travel baseball, and high school football and wrestling. And have paid fees in all of those sports, and soccer by far,(REAL FAR) is the most expensive out of all of them. I had 2 kids playing high school football, scjga golf and travel volleyball and those combined did not cost me what soccer cost us in the same time period. You're correct though in saying soccer clubs are going to charge what the market bears. That's why I said soccer clubs base their business plan on "THERE'S A SUCKER BORN EVERY MINUTE". I was one of them. Youth soccer clubs truly has to be one of the biggest scams in all american youth sports.
