Looks like they made a concerted effort to lower the costs.

Try girls gymnastics. At $380 a month just for practices then add on leotards and meets and its around 6K a year for the budding Nastia Lukins.
At least with boys soccer I get to yell and shout and live my past sports failures through the kid on the field. With Gymanstics I really don't care about it at all and its a beating to sit through a meets.

Any sport you play competitively is going to cost you $$$ !!! Be thankful you kid isn't in race car driving or equestrian .. You think it's costly to send your kid to California to play in a showcase, what do you think the costs are to send your kid, a trainer and coach and horse across the country to compete in "nationals".
In response to fundraising for kids sports and trips .. GIVE ME A BREAK !!! There is a very low-cost soccer in your area if you can't afford it. Reality is ... these college scholarships in any sport aren't free... you pay now or pay later... most parents know that getting their kids involved in a sport has so many more positive upsides that it's worth the money to spend what you can on them, but have a sense of reality and personal budgeting.
If your kid is a phenom.. and you couldn't afford it.. trust me.. someone would find a way from them to play... otherwise it's a personal choice.. please don't sit outside Publix and tell me how I should give you money because your team made regionals and you need to go to GA...
All that being said.. most clubs are in it to make money.... some more than others... it's all part of the process of doing your due diligence in choosing a club that fits into your family budget !!
