[quote=Anonymous]We are a small club and every team kind of has their own budget. We try to keep costs down as there are many families on the team that struggle to pay the $2K+ fees.  There are at least two full scholarship players.  I know of one of them.  The problem I have is that the scholarship player that I know of will miss a lot of practices.  No-show at a random game.  And he's definitely in the lower 4th ability wise.  It bothers me that he gets a scholarship where we could use that scholarship on someone that would be at every practice. Every game. etc.  I think this particular scholarship or two allows families to be less invested in the team.  If we had a paying player in that spot, we would be able to add a tournament or two maybe add winter futsal or add more winter indoor training. etc.  I think scholarships should not only be based on financial need but also commitment, value to the team, etc.  But in general, scholarships are necessary.  Soccer shouldn't be a rich kid sport.[/quote]
