Ah...whew. Still not cheap, but not crazy-talk.
Look around...you will probably find a number of people who are willing to open up a field and give the young people a chance to get some kicks in as opposed to formal training sessions.
Remember, folks...if the theory holds that soccer in the US is being run as a moneymaking business, then it's ultimately the customers, not the clubs, who determine the prices. No successful business charges more than a sufficient number of customers are willing to pay for their product. As long as enough people believe that they "have" to have a certain brand of any product regardless of cost, the cost of that brand will always stay high.
