Try outs for soccer will soon be here. Tryouts were disappointing for us last year - so for a variety of reasons, we are looking elsewhere. An internet search makes me believe that club websites (the ones I could find) are fairly useless in providing parents the nitty-gritty details (total costs) as well as the "feel" of the club (how do they communicate with parents, is soccer expected to be a year round sport or are kids able to play other sports?). Add to that, almost all club's tryout dates are the same or overlap making it more difficult for parents to gather information. I also think that there are clubs in our area that are hard for parents to locate because they are new, fairly small, etc. Clubs I'm aware of: Waza, YMCA, LCSC, Vardar. I know there are many more in surrounding communities but I am looking for information on teams based in Livonia. Any information would be great. What is the total cost? *club/team fees? (if published, this is typically the only thing included) *extra cost for tournaments? out of state? in-state? how many per season? *is indoor winter soccer required? where do they play indoors? how many sessions? what is this fee *any additional costs for trainers? *uniform costs? what other team wear is required/strongly encouraged besides the uniform (warm-ups, backpacks, teamball, etc.)? *summer camps required/strongly encouraged? fee? What league does the club play in? Western Suburb and Michigan Youth Soccer are two....are there others in the area? How many games each season? Where is the practice field? Certification of coaches? Background checks? How are tryouts run? Other questions I don't know I should be asking? |
