What do you Pay? RCL or PSPL

[Unregistered]

We had a few players migrate over mid-season from PSPL. Some of the parents mentioned the cost was a big issue they avoided RCL. I notice a lot of the PSPL clubs advertise that they are cheaper than RCl. Wondering if that is actually the case.

XF $2250 a year for u12 and up. Pays for 18 games, plus post season state cup usually another 3-6 games min. training 3x a week May - May with about 3 weeks off for scheduled holiday breaks. So if you are lazy and just say 12 trainings a month for a total of 144.

I could only find 1 PSPL team posting it's fees online, small club NLSC $2k for u12 for 18 games (no info on any included post season tournaments) 2x training a week in fall, with larger breaks, and only 1x training a week during spring.

So it would seem at least this PSPL is more expensive when you look at what you actually get for the $$. Cost per training. cost per game.

Made me curious what everyone is paying.

XF

$2250 is only club fee.

Another $1800 for tournament registration and team travel (hotel, coach, chaperon), not including player airfare.

$5-600 for cloth (it is for 2 years though)

Those costs for XF only apply if you are RCL div 1 maybe div 2. Younger teams don't travel as much. If your kid makes the ECNL or DA there's only the cost of the kit as league fees and travel are covered.

Is there a club that rolls all tournament fees in to their annual cost?

It's much less than that at most teams. We usually pay for 3 summer tournaments and 1 winter one $50 a tournament per kid. So that's an additional $200 a year on top of league fees.

Uniform is around $450-$500 every 2 years and that's with buying extra shorts, training tops and socks.

Not sure if SU ever got their numbering system straightened out but when we were the numbers were a mess. if your kid got promoted or demoted during a season, you had to replace all the gear with numbers because they had duplicate numbers from team to team. And then a new kit every season as well. A lot of needless expense

PSPL premier team: $1500 per year including four or five tournaments plus $150 per uniform per two years. Plus travel cost. Training 2x week.

Gunners I think is the most expensive of all Washington clubs. $2,450 for 3x per week, not including tournaments, kit, or travel. $2,250 for 2x per week (B or C). And they still have B and C teams travel.
