[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure why I hadn’t realized this til now with DC in U13 but I had no idea how much money it costs for a soccer player to become truly elite by high school. These kids have fitness, strength, running, technical work, periodization schedules mapped out around ID camps—all outside of team practices. It must run in the 10s of thousands per year as some of the coaches are hitting $200 per hour. 
For those of you doing this: is it worth it? And in general, are there any really top kids who do NOT get this extra training? Am I the only clueless parent out here?

Yes, it's worth it. No, it's not needed.

Pretty much all of it can be done on your own with some effort. Probably the only thing that you couldn't do yourself is small group training and even that is achievable if you get a handful of like-minded parents together.

That said...if you're not paying for it [b]AND[/b] you're not doing it yourself, your kid is going to fall behind the kids who are.[/quote]
