How much do you pay for Fall, Spring, two indoor seasons, plus three LOCAL tourneys? We are trying to estimate cost for 2004 for parents. Last year we did have a trainer for 15 sessions at $65.00 PER HOUR.
My son joined a newly formed premier team last Spring. As part of the initial presentation to the families, we were given an expectation of $2,500 for the year. This included a number of things like 3 new pairs of boots per year, multiple tournaments, and so on. We have talked about fund raisers, sponsors, and the like, but that has not been found to be necessary (yet). I don't think it's been that much, but it is not insignificant.
