budgeting and evaluation process will depend on what your goals are for next season. 1. how many tourneys do you intend to play? 2. what level of play? major? aaa? aa 3. do you have your own practice facility? 4. how much out of state travel? or will you play local? these are just a few things i would need to know before i could comment. For words of Wisdom, give me a call, i could write you a book on that.lol
