Sockers charges $25 per try out as well if you are new to the program. At least with Magic you get a free shirt and bracelet (LOL). I wonder if you are right about them over estimating the brand of if this is evidence of what some South Magic parents have been complaining about since RDA left the scene - lack of commitment for the South which was the home base for the entire program. I know on the girls side that the current u12 team is looking for options - some have offers for next season with clubs that compete in ECNL. I know that Magic North had serious issues with their 2011 U12 and U17 squads who were also interested - promised in fact that Magic would jump into ECNL. Magic are flying pretty high on the boys end but I am wondering as a whole if they are on pace with Sockers in the long run.
