      Yeah but when they get there, there isn’t a marked soccer field with 2 goals and 15 other kids all wearing matching uniforms.

      You’re paying for the orchestration and scheduling of the games

        Not fucking $600 I’m not. That’s a car payment. My friends and I were always able to make do with sticks or fence posts or whatever and organize games. That was before we even had cell phones. You don’t even need organized teams and uniforms for a bunch of little children to just fuck around.

              Ok I’ll admit I just rolled with what you said on the price, but turns out that was just an exaggeration.

              I just looked it up and soccer is $157 and covers 6 weeks. So about $26 a week that covers the organization, setting up practice, the games, the refs, etc.

              That’s pretty cheap.
