Sports league dues for kids get really expensive. My grandson is in the local basketball league and the annual fee is over $1000, and then we're charged $30 to attend the games.
The first year, there was a call to all relatives to pitch in if they could. I don't know since how they've been affording it.
TMI, Maybe
I'm also now out of contact with Master D, since his grandma and I divorced in 2024. It was a bit of a drive to the games, and travel and cost has made it prohibitive.
