We practice more than we play.
Every tournament rep is earned.
The typical travel team plays 35–60 games per season. Most of those are tournaments on weekends, with almost no practice time in between. MGBA Travel is different. We cap tournaments at 10 per year — maximum — and keep the rest of the time where development actually happens: practice.

The estimated all-in cost is $800–$1,500 per player per season — significantly below the $3,000–$8,000 typical of comparable travel programs. The regional tournament focus keeps hotel and travel costs minimal. Full pricing will be announced at tryouts.
