Horse riding, golf: tips for your child to play cheap sports

Golf: between accessibility and attractiveness

Affordable prices, advantageous, many golf clubs offer formulas accessible to young audiences throughout France (especially in the Paris region for the lucky ones). Play for fun, the time of a weekend, or subscribe to the year. Classes can be done individually or in groups with often a discount for students and lower prices for all toddlers (baby golf for children under 4 years old or kids golf for children under 6).
These good plans are proposed by clubs affiliated to the UCPA (National Union of Outdoor Sports Centers). Prices vary between 150 and 200 euros per year, individual courses are more expensive than in groups. The equipment is often included in the subscription, otherwise the subscribers must pay the license without forgetting the license that about thirty euros.

 

Riding: more expensive but more profitable

Unlike golf, it is more difficult to find an inexpensive riding club. This sport practice is quite expensive. Nevertheless, associations and private clubs offer attractive rates.
All levels are accepted and all ages, even for the little ones. Private or group lessons, members must first pay a license (same price as for golf) and an annual fee around 100 euros.
The payment of the courses is generally done by trimester (one hour to an hour and a half per week according to the clubs) or the package. Rates vary from 170 to more than 200 euros per quarter for the most affordable, knowing that prices can go up to 1,000 euros a year in some of the most famous equestrian centers. Fees vary depending on the clubs and facilities they have. Obviously, the higher the cost, the more the sports center has more substantial means. The helmet, mandatory equipment, is often the responsibility of the family.


* To practice these sports at a more attractive price, inquire at the town hall of your city or the UCPA.
