CaCO3Girl posted:The tourney prices are listed on the websites. I can say that some fall tourneys were as much as $2500 for a team to enter. Split 14 ways that's $180 for that one tourney. Check the prices of the tourneys, and get a breakdown of costs from the coaches on what went to what.
Maybe things are different in other parts of the country but the method I am familiar with is you get XYZ tournaments, coaching, field time etc for X amount of dollars for a set period of time. I have never heard of anyone asking for a breakdown or of any organization providing one.
When you buy any product do you get a breakdown of cost, overhead, transportation, marketing and so on? Nope you pay a cost for a service or goods, you accept it and purchase or don't and move on. it is pretty simple.
