[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All this is such a scam.  I am a former D1 ball player and just coach my kids and their friends who play the sport and have a decent success with it.  I don't have energy to do the AAU circus so just coach 3-5 kids on the side for free and have to say that is a decent way of getting your own kids better. 
Counting on some rando coach to significantly improve them is hard.  I actually know these kids weaknesses and tendencies so I can tailor our training. [/quote]

It feels the same way to me as well re: scam. But at least in more mainstream sports, I’ve seen much more engagement and planning from coaches. I don’t know what I’m missing here, the club seems busy but it’s about 95% Asian kids so I don’t know if there’s something cultural that I’m missing. DH said that parents were talking about college scholarships as motivation, but looking at the stats online, there are precious few scholarships. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, there also appears to be nothing beyond college in terms of professional opportunities. At 2-3 private lessons a week and classes, I’m looking at a minimum of $15,000/yr to do this and that’s not including equipment and travel. DD is having fun but wondering if it makes more sense to just skip the lessons at least until HS, do 2-3 classes a week, and play other sports to build up fitness and then do these travel competitions starting in HS for college recruitment if that’s what she wants.
