Great to see teams that do NOT have outragous fees winning!! All this glitz and glamour does not always pan out on the field!!!
What say you??? |

Wow! I'm glad my boys are past that age. I can't imagine paying that kind of money for baseball - even for a whole year. I'm too busy now paying that for my daughter's gymnastics! Haha. |

There are organizations charging between 3500 and $3600 per player in the 13,14 and 15-year-old age groups and this does not include any private instruction! Peanut as for the expense of taking care of a field it does not warrant a $3600 per player cost to maintain. |

I recently heard about $3500 (Cooperstown year) fees but also charging for individual lessons. Hey, I don't knock anyone for making a living but I would think that $3500 would get me a whole year's worth of instruction. :-) |

Didn't realize that there was no expense involved with owning your own fields. |

Plus most of the teams that are charging these fees have their own fields!!!
Well, I'm not the one using multiple exclamation points, so not really. I also never spent anywhere close to $3600 for a season, even Cooperstown. Everybody worries too much about what other people are doing if you ask me.

Agreed, but it is their money. |

No idea what or whom you're talking about, but winning isn't always the whole point. Could be those fees are getting them field time, good, individualized training, a great schedule, or maybe just nice unis. Different teams (and parents) have different priorities.
Also, it's early in the season so maybe they took a loss to try some things out. A different lineup, getting some pitchers some innings. Taking the hit so that they are ready for the important tournaments in June/July.
We'll never know from this thread, but congrats on the win(s). |

I love it. Ive coached and managed a team for 6 years now and I love competing and beating teams that have extremely high fees. its all about the ballplayers and the coaching. |
