How this works

Why this exists

We are soccer parents. When our son moved from rec to club, nobody could tell us whether the fees we were being asked to pay were normal, and the charges kept coming after we signed: tournaments, travel, kit, a team fee nobody had mentioned. We built this so the next family can see what a club charges, what other parents actually paid, and what the club does with the money, before tryout day. Clubs cannot pay us. Ever.

Here is what you will find on a club page, and why you can trust it.

Posted fees

Amounts the club published itself, on its own website or fee sheet. Each one links the page it came from and shows the date that page last showed it. Parents and the club can add to and confirm them.

Estimated annual cost

A planning range built by this site from the posted program fee plus modeled travel, tournaments, kit and gear for that level, region and age. Always a range, never a quote from the club. We never mix the two.

Every number is dated and sourced, and a club with no posted price says so rather than showing a guess. The five questions we asked ourselves are below, each answered on its own page.

Run a club?

Only publicly posted information is used, estimates are always marked as ours, and you can claim your page for free to confirm the fees we show. Errors sent to support@pitchdreams.com are fixed within 48 hours.

Estimates are ranges, not predictions; posted fees can go out of date; cost is one factor in choosing a club and we judge nothing else. Confirm with the club before committing. The terms of use carry the full disclaimer.
