    T-ball is $110 registration and $25 for glove/ball. Uniform provided just have to buy club socks.

    Gymnastics is $75 per term with joining fee $40 (1 lesson per week)

    Swimming is $120 per term (1 lesson per week)

    Dancing was $80 per term (1 lesson per week)

    We're in the process of registering for t-ball. Gymnastics has been put on hold as it clashes with t-ball training. Swimming due to be restarted next term. Dancing was stopped as it was Saturdays and her father refused to take her on his weekends do she couldn't participate in the concerts.

    Soccer is $250 per season (no game fee). Plus uniforms of $50.

    Gymnastics is $140 per term (plus insurance of $45 per term or $90 for the year)

    Dancing is $110 per term plus uniforms and jazz shoes (total cost for year approx $120-150 depending on if you can get second hand shoes)

    Swimming we do over school holidays so it is $90 for 3 kids for 5 days of lessons

    Piano (not really a sport but still a "lesson") is $30 per class

    Skiing is probably over 1k a year once I factor in things like petrol and equipment.
    Riding $20 a lesson.
    Tennis $125 a term
    Aikido (which includes Japanese language class) $130 a term.
    Swimming I think it is about $70 a month.

    No wonder my CC is always sad.

    Dance tap/hiphop is $12 a week during school terms, for dd2 plus a pair of tap shoes as needed Thats it, she can wear any suitable clothingm she has

    Swimming is $35 per week total for dd1 and dd2 we pay two monthly so get a small discount

    At the moment we can't afford any more sports, and time wise we would struggle too

    Horse riding, 2 lessons per week, $100 per week. Our pony, our arena, instructor comes to the house and gives DD1 lessons. Sometimes DS will jump on for a short lesson - he has the attention span of a 7 year old boy!!

    Martial Arts = $52 a fortnight. Technically unlimited lessons, but reality 1-2 half hour lessons per week.
    Honestly stopping it, DD1 enjoys it, not enough and 2 nights a week is adding a lot of stress the family schedule. So changing her to calisthenics, should be less than $600 for the year.
