My Daughter does 'Cheer' which is an indoor sport with no pom poms. It costs me about $1,700 for the tuition (2x 1.5hr classes a week).

Lots of other expenses on top of that but nowhere near to $15k

Yes, but you don't live on rock in the middle of the Atlantic.

The tuition or yearly fees 2k
Twice weekly private lessons at 50 a pop to get ready for competitions= another 1k
Cheer uniforms , club jackets and training outfits over 1k


Niagara falls trip for Nationals 2 flights = 1.6k
5 nights in a hotel = just short of 1k
5 days brekkie lunch and supper for 2 at roughly 200 a day = 1k
Wife getting half cut every day of those 5 = a lot
Registration , cheer souvenirs , taxis all over the place , outlet malls, = a lot
The coaches trips are paid by the kids parents as well


Same again for Mississauga 3 weeks later - 15k maybe a slight exaggeration but not much of one

You do know that the only reason anybody invests in this stuff is to try and procure a university scholarship in the US?

This sounds like a very expensive activity for kids but $100 a day per person for 3 meals....w/o booze what were they eating?

I feel quite relieved that my kids just wanted to learn to fly !
