Does that cover all travel, or are those coaching/club fees?

Traveling can get expensive. My son plays at 7:30am in Hammond this Saturday. frick.



Honestly I don't know. The last year we were on the team it was like $300 and that was with six year olds.

From what I hear, the seven year old team plays tournaments and all this other incredibly inane bullshite. Just to make sure they really suck all the joy out of youth.

We're on a team now with a bunch of normal kids from school. The coach doesn't yell and the kids still win and have a good time.

Had a talk with my 11 yr old this morning about the game this weekend. It honestly sounds like things you shouldn't have to say to an 11 yr old...but he's gotten himself into this position. His coaches have always promoted him as the best player...so inevitably he'll have to play the best player on the other team (center mid vs center mid in soccer). The boy he's about to play has beat out a hundred kids to earn that spot (giant NOLA club), my son didn't even really compete for it.

How do you get the competitive juices flowing? What do you say? Hey boy, tighten your chin strap?

Cheer up, it gets worse.
