[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please don't take it the wrong if it applies to your child, I'm just trying to understand something.  I get using soccer as a way to get in to some of your top schools where grades may not be enough or getting a scholarship to play at a DI school.

Where is the value of a player going to a small out of state liberal arts school to play D3 soccer where they can't give an athletic scholarship.  It basically sounds like continued pay to play but instead of 3-5k, it's now 10 times that.  Is it because they couldn't get in anywhere else.  Are they really going there for the soccer?  Wouldn't it be better to go to a DI in state school and trying to make it on as a walk on. For example VA has some great in state schools that after room and board is still less expensive than an out of state tuition alone.  There are also more degree options and resources at the larger schools.

We are just starting to explore this area of playing soccer after high school and was wondering if there is something I may not be aware of in the value of playing DIII.[/quote]

I think the way to look at is, I'm going to get a college degree at a good school which happens to match my soccer abilities so I'm going to play soccer as well. Going to any old school for soccer is likely to be a bad plan.[/quote]
