Everything that is wrong with the pay to play model

Spent almost 20k being on the XF roller coaster last season. So many trips and tournaments it’s way too much. Soccer is broken in America.

Put that money aside for your kids college.

Did you just say 20k for a season??

Think about XF and how much money the families spent for club America cup. 5 or 6 days of hotels, flights, food. Now multiply that cost times 8 more times that XF will make the kids travel throughout the year, including stops in Europe. Absolutely bonkers.

Pay to play on steroids. Only the rich families can afford soccer in our area.

You dont need to exaggerate to make a point. Its 3 night in a hotel. 4 kids to a room- hence whiy there is always some problems. If you just send your kid, its expensive. Rental vans, cost of coach and chaperones, food and entertainment and airfare add up. And no, XF doesnt pay.

Where the expense gets really high is if you as a parent want to see your kid play. Now instead of sharing a room and rental car with your kid, you are getting separate rooms and cars.

The travel budget that XF provides runs out quickly. $12.000 towards airfare, hotel, and ground transportation for any required ECNL travel trips. With 23 kids on a roster, thats basically gone after one ecnl trip. My guess is that we easily pay $25k/year at XF.

It used to be 2200 is this just inflation?

Inflation and greed as the parents will pay it and the club EDs know this.
