The costs for my son's MS team over the last 12 months were a little over $1,000, not including gear.

Covered 7 tournaments (so 35-40 games), 4 scrimmages, boot camp with visiting coaches and about 40 practices. Saw Madlax play a few times but never played them. We had similar records against common opponents but I thought Madlax looked better.

I'd probably be willing to pay more for more, but my son's improving, most goals are assisted so the goals are spread around, and he's having fun.
