[quote=Anonymous]I think its fair to say 75% of all club soccer teams a driven by rich white kids who can afford to pay $$$ to be given the status of elite team. when in reality if the playing field were free for all. most of those kids either wouldn't play because they would be beat out by better kids. Or the parents would find another sport to price most lower income kids out of so their kids would be able to play and told that they are in an elite program. no remember I didn't say ALL but feel comfortable saying 75%. and I don't mean wealthy rich I mean above average income because I know there are many families with an income under 100K a year that pay for Travel soccer. but very few with an income under 35K per year that do. Just facts. im sure their will be a family from lets say Potomac saying we have a hispanic who's on scholarship and comes from southeast dc to practice and play with our elite team. But would that same parent be willing to send their son to a much better skilled group of kids where he would learn more and get better everyday to southeast dc with a club of hispanics where everyone spoke Spanish and no English except their son? I think thats another way to show the economics factor in soccer[/quote]
