Thanks Trillian. I haven't had the bill for the spring season of netball yet because it's just a new thing this year. I assumed I'd have to pay a 2nd time because we always paid per season for basketball. What you've said about Netball Vic makes complete sense.
Cricket is a rip off! The club has just built new nets, that's probably what we're paying for. I sent Dh and DS with $100 expecting to get change but instead they came home with a $60 bill.
It keeps them happy I guess.

Wow, I'm not looking forward to having all 3 of my kids in sports/music lessons.....It's going to break the bank!!
At the moment DD is doing dancing for 5yr olds and under, and that is it. I think it was $40 to register and $9 per lesson.
Next term, I will register both DS1 and DD for Little Athletics. I'm not sure how much that will be....

It shouldn't be - those things are usually paid for by the council, just like pitch and ground maintenance, pavillions, etc, are all owned by the council, not the club. I would be asking them to explain the hike too!

Not always. It depends on who owns and manages the grounds. But that's besides the point. There are loads of grants available to help sporting clubs pay for these things and they should surely have enough money in the kitty to pay for these sorts of things - any club would be mad to use all their available money to pay for it and then massively increase rego's to help pay for it or rebuild the bank balance.

Swimming was $140 a month for 2 but it's cheaper now because I work there, gymnastics is around $17 a week for an hour plus rego and insurance (quite expensive)
