Why are kids' sports so expensive?

My choices are: Swimming, $150 for 10 lessons(!), Soccor, $250 + + for the season, Hockey I didn't even ask about, I KNOW I can't afford that......
How can people who have more than 2 kids afford to keep their kids busy and involved in sports?
My kids want soccor, and I'm feeling guilty because I really can't afford it, and all their friends have signed up.
And the end of year school trip for the older one, $75, + +.
And every day milk money, and pizza days, and hamburger days, and sweatshirt sales and bake sales and and and.
I told them if I see them outside every day playing and practicing in the yard, I'll sign them up. The thing is, they HAVEbeen out every day since I said that. But I still can't really afford it.
I don't know what to do.
HA, George, I wish!!!!
 
Sign them up for online swimming lessons.
Darlings won't know what's hit 'em.
