Texas youth sports, baseball and soccer, are expensive!
You know, I can’t even imagine how much it would cost to have a girly girl who wants to do dance and gymnastic and ballet and all that jazz.
Seriously, youth sports in Texas are expensive.
Kylie’s Soccer: $85 plus ball and shin guards (thankfully we have those!)
Braxton’s Baseball: $105 plus glove, bat, and ball (thank you Nana for those Christmas gifts!)
Hawk’s Baseball: $105 plus glove, bat, and ball (thank you Braxton for growing out of yours!)
On top of that, Kylie’s soccer team will need a sponsor. It’s getting harder and harder to find sponsors for these kiddos, and we were fortunate enough, last season, to have Extreme Pita in Sugar Land, Texas sponsor us. If we don’t find a sponsor this season ($350), we’ll have to split that 8 ways for an additional $44. Fortunately we had a sponsor, because last season, we only had 7 kiddos on the team! Then, there’s one week that we have to bring snacks and drinks for all the kiddos, and of course, picutures.
For Braxton last season, on top of his registration, we had to pay to have his name put on his hat as well as for his trophy. If I’m not mistaken, that was about $25. Then, there was the week we had to bring snacks for the whole team. During the fall, they didn’t offer as much as they do for the spring season, so we’re not really sure what to expect during the spring.
Now, whatever we pay for Braxton will be doubled! Hawk’s ready to get off the bench and out on the field. I don’t blame him!
Bring on this year’s baseball and soccer seasons!
they’re even more expensive in CA! My husband is from TX & wants to move back. I just can’t imagine being the total baseball mom that I am here in the Texas heat. He hasn’t lived there in over 20 years & my whole family is here. I like to visit TX & live in CA
You know, we don’t play soccer during the summer for that reason. Being the coach, it’s hot enough in the spring!
I can ONLY IMAGINE how expensive it is there!!
