Description of service
My 12 year old son was involved in a youth soccer league. The cost of the league was $200. We also paid an additional $45 for two uniforms (home and away). This brought the total to $245.
Review of Service
This was really a great experience for our son. He'd always been fairly shy and not very active. His doctor had recommended giving a group sport a shot. Honestly, we didn't have a good feeling about it and didn't think he'd take to it.
However, the league was not built with competition in mind. They did play games against other teams, but it was a low pressure way for the kids to interact with each other and get some exercise. He ended up making many new friends and getting a chance to come out of his shell a bit. We were really surprised by how many other areas of his life it affected.
Tips
I have known many parents who don't sign their kids up for programs like this because they are shy. I would strongly encourage them to rethink this position, as it's often the shyest of kids who can benefit from a group activity like this. At least give it a shot and see if it works out.
