any suprises with dds new team

[default]

Very happy with DD's new team! Sixth year of travel and fee's are much lower this season then in the past...$350... Includes Fall ball, 7 or 8 Summer Tournaments and Two Sets of Uniforms. Going to stay close to home ( within an hour or so drive) for most tournaments. Second year 16U but they are going to play up in 18U. Looking forward to the season and maybe just maybe getting to take a real Summer Vacation next year!!

Thats the way it should be

My DD and I were both surprised at the first practice....pleasantly surprised!!

Run like a fine tuned machine, with great "teaching" coaches and fun, yet serious girls on the field giving their best.

I had a ball just sitting back watching.

Your DD was an excellent addition to the team, it's going to be a fun year.

Only $2000.00! WOW, you must be getting some great deals:lmao:

That was a few years ago based on the original post. Overall expenses go up every year.

So far so good with our group of girls.

Hey it is an investment when you get to a certain level and age.To say its not is laughable:lmao:.You dont pinch pennys when you play at a certain level.(a good collage exposure team) what with motel bills travel costs ect.
But some organizations do have fees they are not up front with.Ball bags,cleats,ect, these costs should be up front so the parent knows what the cost is when deciding to let there dd play.Some of these costs are way high $150 or more.And if you have 2 dds playing thats a big extra.

We are lucky my dds team tries to keep the costs down,lets you know up front what your getting into.

Just curious....What is your team fees? What does it include?

I would like to think if most parents/players did their homework there should not be any surprises? With all the positive post it looks like most have.

Naturally; there are a lot of differences in the younger teams to the older teams with fees, tournaments, equipment etc.


Like the team, parents need to budget softball expenses too.
Most have no issue with fees if everything is up front.

I am not or wasnt asking what fees are.Thats not the question.But since you asked 650 .We are with the same team so we dont need uniforms,helment,ball bag,cleats or soxs.All funds are accounted for as far as tournaments .
