At the younger age groups (10U - 14U) our team fees averaged $1000-1200, and included helmet, uniforms, bat bag, tournament entry fees, ASA registration/insurance, and misc. At 16U when we played more expensive showcases it was @ $1500. This does not include any travel expenses.

First, I would figure out what level of ball you and your daughter want to play, then I would highly encourage you and your daughter to go to a 10u tournament and watch that level for most of the day. If you want to play A, go watch some A level games so you and her can see firsthand what it is all about. If B is more in your wheel house, do the same. There are several big 10u tournaments in the Atlanta area over the next 4 weekends starting this weekend in Woodstock, next weekend in Covington, and Oct 3-4 in Lilburn.
Also, be prepared to pay a few bucks for gate fees...

We're going to Woodstock on Saturday after her rec game. I'm not sure what A level or B level looks like so we'll be going to multiple tournaments. Perfect excuse for daddy/daughter time. I'm relishing every moment.

A and B is a little fuzzy, especially during the fall. You are going to see some good players and Teams on both.
Don’t let your DD get intimated, she will catch up to the speed of the game once she starts playing with them.

They have so many ABC nationals most teams can get into one. Seems like all the teams in the NE have that as an end of the year goal. Consider yourself lucky to be down south where fees are still reasonable.
Very good points. There are a ton of teams my daughter will never play for because I don't like the coach.
Also, try to figure out what position the coach's daughter plays. I have found I don't want to play on a team where the coach's daughter plays the same position as my daughter.
