Are there families out there tired of the money grab? We pay dues each season, we have to stay in the tournament hotels (at a premium rate)...some tournaments charge gate fees. Not to mention, travel expenses and food.
We were in ATL last fall and they were charging $10 gate fee per person. Never mind that we only had 1 game that day! With a family of 4 (not including the player)...siblings that half the time are bored to death and just there because of the player. Outrageous! Teams need to start revolting and quit going to these money grab tourneys!
CO Sparkler is charging $10 per game to watch the stream! Really?!!! Lots of family's cannot afford to travel and send their kid with the team...so now they charge $10 per game just to watch your kid play....what if your kid did not playing that game?
Spending a weekend on the SB fields used to be fun..not anymore.. Its become a Big Business on the backs of our kids! 1 more year of this mess and cannot wait to be done with it. I still love the game...but HATE the money grab. The big Travel organizations (TX/CA) need start boycotting these tourneys and make this mess stop and make the sport fun again.
