STING CHARGING $2800 now? What's next? Someone else charge over $3000????
I guess as long as the parents pay, they will keep raising the fees.

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

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.

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.

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...

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.

The $2350.00 is what we were told for my DD's 97 team and we do ALOT of showcases!

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.

Texans are $2,950.
Not sure why your DD's dues are less (alt practice location maybe?), but congrats.
