I spend around $100 dollars a month for athletics per child on a year round sport. I feel justified in spending it because there is actually 12-15 hours of training per week involved plus random meets. It is expensive but I feel they get a lot of exercise for the money.
We do additional random activities as we can afford them and they have interest. Younger son wants to add an additional year round activity next year (not a sport) and he will probably do it which will increase money spent on him by about $50.00/month.
I also want the younger son to take up an instrument but there just isn't time in his schedule...maybe the next year.
