I'm curious, what are the average fees and dues per season (fall & summer) for all ages in So Cal and what all is included.
I feel as though we get a pretty fair deal and we don't have to do any fundraising unless we choose to do so and if we do, we keep the money made. My daughter plays for a strong organization that has a history of sending alot of kids to Division One programs including some Big 12 and SEC and their 16s and 18Gold pay around $1,500 per year ($500 for the fall and $1,000 for summer) and that includes the following supplies plus the following tournaments:
Supplies: Uniforms, Helmets, Cleats, BackPacks, Practice Shirts, All Tournament Fees, Non-Parent Coaches and their travel expenses, Rental of Practice Facilities both outdoor and indoor,
Tournaments:
Fall-
(2) Invites on Division One College Campuses
(2) Large Showcases in Texas
Ronald McDonald Tournament
So Cal Showcase (either America's Finest or BB Early Thanksgiving)
Summer-
Colorado Showcase
Chicago Showcase
(2) Texas Showcases
Hall-of-Fame for 16A and all the local qualifiers and HOF Qualifiers
Southern Gold Qualifier
Regional Gold Qualifier
National HOF Gold Qualifier
Nationals
A few other regional tournaments.
I think their younger teams in 14s and 12s pay around $1,000-1,300 per year, but they also hire former college players or Asst Collge Coaches to coach and the teams attend a pretty strong schedule including HOF, Colorado and ASA Nationals.
