Cost Comparisons
It seems that the most touchy of areas to address on any subject is money. However, due to apprehensions and questions as to costs, we feel that it must be done, and that a small comparison of typical family costs may help to put the cost of your childs athletics in perspective.
Breakdown of the dual season cost of Pee-wee Socer.
Dual Season Cost $105.00
=$52.50 per season.
divided by 10 games per season
=$5.25 per game.
Comparison of other costs in family budgets
-Many families now own 2 cell phones and one standard phone. Conservative phone bill: $40.00 per month (times 3 = $120.00 Per Month! or $1440.00 per year!) Almost 14 kids could play 2 seasons for that cost alone.
-The most conservative cable television bill that we could find was $29.95 per month (or $359.40 per year) - for the cheapest cable rate we could find!
-The largest supplier of internet service in the nation is AOL, whose rate is approximately $22.50 per month (or $270.00 per year) - for Dial-up! Many, many customers pay more for high speed - which is approx 39.95 per month (or 479.40 per year)!
A large cup of coffee at "Tim Hortons" is $1.55. (Times five work days = $7.75, or $403.00 per year!) Almost 4 kids could play two seasons for that, and they get to keep the uniform!
The point of this writing is not to make parents feel guilty about what is spent on discretionary expenses, rather to put the cost of placing your child in athletics into better perspective.
With childhood obesity at record levels in the United States, and more kids diagnosed with ADD than ever before (possibly due to excessive passive entertainment), maybe the question should be, "What is the cost of NOT putting my child into athletics?"
Are the minds and health of our kids worth more than a cup of coffee? A show on cable? or the possibility of missing a phone call? You answer that.
The staff.
