This summer we discussed with DD about trying out for a new organization. The situation with her current organization is fine but after discussion with DW and DD we think it is time to look for something more competitive to help her progress.
Our current organization is pretty affordable compared to what I’ve seen and heard but now that we are looking we realize the financial commitment will be greater for us. We currently have volunteer coaches and no indoor facility, which factor into the team costs.
When she originally tried out for her current program, we encouraged DD to try out to see how she would do without knowing the financial commitment. We were focused on tryouts for the team with the expectation that making the team was 50/50. After she made the team we were lucky to find out it was affordable. I didn’t really want to have to tell my DD she couldn’t play because it was too expensive after we encouraged her to try out.
We want DD to try out but also don’t want to break the bank. We also don’t want to be in a position where if she makes the team then tell her we can’t swing it. In instances where we plan on trying out, should we ask for the cost before hand or should we have her try out even if we don’t know the costs. Also, do you find most org have payment plans? Are there any questions you might suggest before looking into a new org?
Thanks
