    Umm footy is $70 plus $5 a game

    Gymnastics is $80 a term (one lesson a week) $100 insurance a year. Plus comps

    Dancing is $66 a term

    Oh and of course outfits and uniforms for all.

    The cricket fee seems extremely high.

    I think full fee's here for kids netball & footy were only $5. But there's a scheme here you can apply for through the shire that covers the costs. Up to a certain amount a year for each child, to play as many sports as they want.

    My netball fee's were $90 for the year.

    ETA: Limey, WA has a MUCH much better set up than other states! There are no pavilions etc in NSW that I've ever been too. We have a bar, 2 kitchens, indoor netball courts, kids play rooms, play ground! It was always to the pub after games in NSW. Here they do dinner & drinks at the sports ground! I love it!

    Pretty sure the footy clubs here would make a fair amount on money compared to over there though. They made enough just out of me this year

    Interesting to see how much swim lessons vary in terms of cost.

    Our swimming is $144 per month for 2 kids
    Dancing for DD is $6.50 per week plus costume hire ($30 a year) and concert tickets ($20 per adult twice a year)
    Looking into soccer for DS which will be around $16 a week plus rego

    I spoke to a friend of mine whose son plays cricket in another team and their subs were $50, which also includes a shirt.
