A little birdie told me that Sting is now charging $2800 for dues this year. How soon until a club breaks the $3000 mark? This is crazy! That means a team with 22 on the roster is pulling in over $60k!

I guess as long as the parents pay, they will keep raising the fees.

Nothing new. That is what the fees were last year.

This isn't new by any means. Texans was at $2800 two years ago and Sting was $2800 last year as well.

Doesn't make it any less crazy. It's just not new news.

I heard that Sting in Fort Worth isn't that high. About $1,000 LESS.
Is that true?

They are just charging what the market will bear.

Depends on what your dd and family are looking for in the select soccer journey.

If your dd is not a significant contributor on the ECNL team and in the hunt for major college $ there are certainly less expensive options available.

 What age?  I'm guessing U16 or above since you mention 22 on the roster.  If so, that's what I would expect given that the cost of showcase tournaments can be as much as double that of regular tournaments.  That, of course, assumes that $2800 is inclusive of your anticipated tournaments.

If we'd stop paying it, they'd stop chargin' it.  

Any club can charge $10,000/year but if nobody pays that, then they'll go out of business.  Our problem is that somebody here would pay $10K just because they can. Some people have more dollars than sense.

Spoken like a true 'Lefty'

It is a business.  Pay what it is worth to you.  How is it any different than the decision to buy a Porsche or KIA?

Because Porsche and KIA are not in collusion.

I heard from a very reliable source that Kicks costs nearly as much as all of the other high priced clubs but that they don't do it for the money.

Pass it down.

My DD quit select about 3 years ago. Spent the $$ on other things. She still played varsity and had a lot of fun on the weekends and looking at some good college opportunities at D2 and D3 schools.

Bingo...club soccer is a money grab pure and simple....populated by a bunch of verbally/mentally abusive so called 'coaches'..(not all of them but certainly a large number)...who care about 'winning' games/tournaments/getting in your back pocket...

TFC was around 2350 last year but had planned to go up to 2550 this year.
I think Liverpool and Andromeda are 2500 to 2550 range.

Over the years the cost at each club has gone up - glad my last child only has 2 more select soccer years to go. Not sure what I will do with all that extra money on July 1st. Very Happy

are these prices for all age groups? are the older (high school aged) typically higher due to showcase tourneys and such?

Tornado, if you are this unhappy with Select, why are you still a part of it? We all have a choice in this, we can stay or leave. If we stay then we can 1) just accept what it is, or 2) try to work to make it better. However, complaining on the board about it won't effect a change. Very Happy

Texans are $2,950.

Not sure why your DD's dues are less (alt practice location maybe?), but congrats.
