I don’t disagree with you but most youth sports programs are that way. Club/travel teams are the only way a lot of these sports are financially viable. Baseball/softball, swim, volleyball, cheer, gymnastics, soccer all seem to follow that model. What’s the alternative that gets the kids exposed to the best competition in the region? And COVID19 has put the hurt on these programs as well.

I'm under the impression is more important to practice than play travel soccer esp. at younger ages.

I agree but in the majority of this country it is not viable and why so many kids are left out. It has become the haves and have nots.
I mean one of the local clubs here(also largest in the state and country) for U8 acadamy with club, team, and other fees, not including travel expenses, you pay close to $4000 a year. That is for 7yos. Swimming can be a lot more then that here.
