Was chatting with a friend at the fields the other night about the costs of youth sports, soccer, hockey, tennis golf etc. They were talking about the cost of hockey, to just play 'house' hockey, was extremely expensive.
Do folks have estimates of the cost to play youth competitive youth sports besides soccer. thinking baseline estimates here.
Will use the acronym --- expense per child = EPC
Figure try to focus on the pre-high school ages, where kids are playing year around ( 8-9 months a year).
*Soccer - most academies for a camp and 2-3 training sessions a week, will range from registration fees $900 - $1500 a year.
*3 to 8 tourneys a year ~ $150 - $350 a year (EPC)
*travel expenses fees for coaches ~ $150 a year (EPC)
*Uniforms ~ $150 to $300 every other year, (will include half in the range below)
*Cleats - $75 (on average), will say 2 pairs a year.
*So for competitive soccer without hotel/gas/food expenses etc - total estimated BASELINE cost
~ $1425 to ~$2300 a year.
Hockey
AAU basketball
Tennis
Golf
Lacrosse
Volleyball
Football
(please let me know if I should correct or add to soccer expenses)
