[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m intentionally keeping my kids in a non travel league at this point- they are exceptional athletes and play many sports- I’m already seeing Kids who are 10 and dropping out of travel because they are “burned out” from three times a week practice and several games a weekend/year round soccer. It’s nuts. We are very well off and I’m disgusted at what [b]my peers pay for custom lax sticks for 7 year olds, private coaching, hell these folks have to buy several different PRACTICE uniforms for their kids. [/b] People are nuts.[/quote] Especially once all that parental time/energy (+ opportunity cost) is taken into account, it seems like it would be cheaper to just pay for college.... even assuming the child was to get one of these coveted scholarships that are apparently so hard to get. Has anyone actually done a cost/benefit analysis for this?[/quote]
