[quote=Anonymous] Schools that hand out $ for soccer generally are sucking third-rate academic colleges. They are rarely ever full-rides. They are a pittance. You'd be better off taking the $3500/year travel fees and putting it in a 529 if you are strapped for cash.[/quote] The first sentence is just silly. It is true, however, that athletic scholarships for soccer (boys and girls) are almost never "full rides". The scholarship situation is something that parents need to educate themselves about so they can understand the recruiting process. Aside from scholarships though, there are other benefits for working to excel in a sport or other activity. Almost always there are significant expenses associated with developing a level of expertise. [/quote]
