They just spent over an hour this afternoon riding their bikes with the neighborhood kids... Who's to say that doesn't hold many (though not all) of the same benefits? You raise some great points in this post.Misha - TheBlingBuoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07984988520715222166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817753888677310454.post-33324140890609417102012-03-20T13:50:49.830+08:002012-03-20T13:50:49.830+08:00Wowsers!!

I did not think of cost $200 to register, then a ball, socks, shorts, shin pads and boots! Of course all in addition to his swimming fees that we are expected to pay up front 6-8 wks before the term starts to "keep our place". I also have the same again in fees for the Munchkin in swimming and his gym fees. No wonder people by a wii and let their kids stay inside.Sam-Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09483927630504401438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817753888677310454.post-36985329363561353692012-03-20T08:25:32.091+08:002012-03-20T08:25:32.091+08:00I also don't understand.. in a country surroun...I also don't understand.. in a country surrounded by water.. why swimming lessons are so damn expensive! It's all a tad ridiculous! I can't fathom how/why is costs $1000 to play hockey?? gah, really bugs me. It's a knock on effect surely? unhealthy people therefore push further the health system.<br /><br />Mmm. I think I am narkier about this than I realised!!

I didn't want my Youth Sports weekend meme just to concentrate on the conformity of team sports.<br /><br />You make some very good points here...the price of team sport does often exclude lots of kids. Also, there is more to sport than organised clubs and team sports. <br /><br />Your post is great food for thought and I'd love to have it as part of Youth Sports Weekend!SportyMummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00351427912193556216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817753888677310454.post-54735737435566240262012-03-20T05:31:58.704+08:002012-03-20T05:31:58.704+08:00WHAT! a grand to just join a hockey team?
