Rec or club? Start with what you'll pay.

Rec soccer is the low-cost, everyone-plays option run by volunteer parents. Club soccer requires a tryout, uses paid coaches and travels, so it costs much more. Most Texas clubs don't post their fees, so we collect the ones that are public and show where each number came from.
