That’s pretty good value for the money. Youth sports aka club sports are a booming business in the U.S. especially among families wanting to get the kid(s) athletic scholarships to college. That can run into thousands of dollars per kid per sport with additional costs to travel across the country for competitions and exposure to collegiate coaches.
