NW OH Families - this is close to the cost of going to Michigan to play for ECNL and probably GA club team. I think it is fairly safe to say $15 to $20K a year is a safe bet.
DM: Ran my final season of club soccer making a 2 hour drive from home to practice, 4 hours total round trip.
$2,831/month or $19,817 paid in 7 month season ending in mid May.
$1,200/month just in expense to travel to practice during the week.
From where we live, the $19,817 includes clubs fees, uniforms, travel for practice, games, and showcases. Hotel, food, gas , car rental, flights, you name it and I accounted for it all this year just to have an idea.

#CSTruth Wow!
@ImCollegeSoccer Four Ohio schools, we just lost Lourdes University. Not good, we talked about the demographic bust. It is going to get a little worse before (God willing) it gets better. It will be interesting to see how this impact youth travel sports.
@ImYouthSoccer Your data is so important. What a insightful story about the 2027. I hope she understands that coach can only be trusted if there is a counterbalance of power. Please disregard the haters, they are free to swim in the bay of ignorance, which flows into the ocean of despair.
