My son plays for LI Lightning, AAU travel basketball league. They hold yearly tryouts, they have to rent the facilities, pay evaluators, insurance costs etc. It was $10 yes just TEN dollars, and he got a t-shirt out of it.
The organization has instructional clinics thru out the year, developmental leagues, with paid HS and college coaches for 3 months at a time. I believe it was 125 for 12 ninety minute clinics.
LAcrosse' business model hmmm something to think about. |
