💡 Why We Made This Calculator

Since COVID, the cost of youth sports has surged by over 46% — and it’s pricing too many talented kids out of the game. Parents are tapped out. Coaches are stretched thin. And programs are scrambling to stay competitive.

This calculator was built to do two things:

• Help families plan ahead by understanding real, itemized costs

• Highlight the need for smarter fundraising tools like Tag!

Whether your kid plays football, cheer, soccer, wrestling, or travel volleyball — expenses like registration, gear, travel, meals, training, and team fees add up fast. Our calculator breaks it down so you can see the full picture.

🧠 What the Calculator Covers

Our ChatGPT-powered calculator factors in:

• Age and competition level

• Type of sport

• Team dues or league fees

• Travel and lodging
