The "tryout" my son attended was free, as advertised in the local "fish wrap". When we arrived they were finishing up a morning session that was evidently the $400+ video tryout. These players left, not participating in the "open" tryout.
They did a pro style tryout then a informational talk to the parents, giving the sales pitch... cheapest option was around $750.
My son's a soph., so I think we"ll stick with Impact here in NC and PG next year. For $750 - $1000 he can attend alot of winter college camps like we've done in the past.
