There are three main cost buckets. Before I get into it — these are based on what we spent last year and the team fees will also depend on how big the roster ends up, so take them as ballparks.
Also worth knowing upfront: this isn't a per-season thing. We try to stay active pretty much year-round, so this covers everything from now through end of March.
🏛️ Club Fees
Paid directly to the club through PlayMetrics. Covers registration and club membership. Plan for $1,000.
👕 Uniforms
Roughly $350 for the full kit — home, away, practice gear, and the bag. These get ordered all at once through nikys-sports.com.
⚽ Team Fees
Last year each family's share came out to a little over $600. This covers tournaments, refs, and the shared gear and tech we use.
Payments come to me since I front the team expenses throughout the year — that's how I'm able to split it up for families.
