[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Obviously it varies by sport. My kid was recruited for cross country and track. Over his competitive career prior to college, we spent about $600 on shoes and shorts.[/quote] My DS is a runner and I am thrilled by the low cost compared to other sports. Really don't care if it leads to anything in college, but it goes to show you that spend $$$$$$$ certainly isn't always necessary. On the other hand, we have friends easily spending $50k a year on their kid in a sport hoping it give him a leg up for a top college. He's nowhere near the top of his class and I truly don't know if it will pay off. They are holding back on doing things like replacing their leaking hot water heater in order to pay his fees.
