[quote=Anonymous]Why is it a scam? Because you don’t see the value? There’s lots of kids who really love to play soccer, and are pretty good at it. Only a few players are goi to end up playing at the elite level and college. But between that and recreational soccer there’s a big range and travel teams and developmental teams fill the void. It costs money to reserve fields, pay coaches who are not volunteers, join an organized league, get uniforms, pay referees, etc. it’s a machine and it’s not free to run it. My kid loves soccer and is quite good at it but not elite level good. We don’t go crazy with private training and have no inclination they will play in college. But they are staying very active, have great friendships, have matured as humans and players, and gained skills to continue playing a game they love. We can afford it. What’s wrong with that? Don’t like it, don’t participate.

Is your kid going to just get a job straight out of HS if they don’t get into Princeton or Harvard? [/quote]
