Again, I'll say to do the research here. Call CESA and ask what the club dues are. Then as the follow up: what other fees are involved. "Local clubs here that are ok....they cost about 2K-3K a year not including travel and tournaments" is just misleading and if you're talking about CESA (which in my opinion is more than ok) it's just plain inaccurate.
I actually appreciate the one person on here who private messaged me and said 'this is how much it cost me'. What I'll never understand is how people on here say they 'know how much it costs' yet they're not the one paying the money. You know because you're a referee and you talk to people? Come on! Therefore, you're in a position to tell me how much I've paid and how much I haven't? The parent you talked to after a match knows more about my bank account than I do? Wow!
