The equipment fees described preclude that your kid isn't a goalie!

Otherwise, the camp fees are more in line with what individual equipment costs will be!

But any club sport is expensive. Hockey probably the most due to equipment and rink fees.

My daughter is in club soccer (you would think not much gear involved there), and beyond the thousand-plus dollar dues and out-of state tournaments costs:

$180 cleats, (growing feet so this is yearly)
$50 indoor shoes (when outdoor season if over...also yearly)
$15 shin guards
$15 slider (worn under the shorts...some players like to pull shorts down as a distraction)
$20 sports bra (added cost of raising a girl)
$90 uniforms (home and away jerseys, shorts, and socks)
$75 warmups (sweat pants and jackets for winter events)
$25 practice jerseys (weekly practices)
$25 warmup jerseys (prior to the game)
$80 underarmor gear (must match the home and away jerseys) for winter wear...can't wear the warmups during the games
$30 soccer ball (every player must have one...all of them match)
