My daughter did competitive FS too. Pricey but worth every penny. She has grown up to be an amazing person.
Family and friends couldn't believe the cost or that we were foolish enough to pay for it. But it really was a worthwhile experience. After pre-juvenile we were probably paying 20-30K+ per year including travel. The joke among our circle of skater families was that having a kid in competitive FS was like buying a new car every year. LOL we drug her skates everywhere we went so she could keep in shape.
