[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD had the choice of UChicago, Wash U, Emory, Carnegie Mellon and Wesleyan from playing ECNL soccer.  Yes, all D3, and yes, all worth the effort.[/quote]

not worth the effort. at all. [/quote]

Look, by the time your DD gets to college, you will have paid more than the total cost of the college tuition for an in state school just for the club soccer and travel costs.  Middle school and high school is seven years at approximately $20k per year.  Gas, travel, hotels, team fees uniforms, etc.  There is no right or wrong course of action and it depends on your expectations.  Even if you get some or a full ride, it doesn’t pay for itself.

Now if you consider the experience and what it provides you in life long learning, it may be worth it.  Operative word is may.  There is no guarantee for anything in life.  You get out of it what you put into it.

I’ve heard many complain that they gave up their childhood for practices and everything else.  So far for us it’s been both challenging and rewarding.  We can only hope for the best going forward.  Maybe it meets expectations maybe it doesn’t, but so far there are no regrets.

As the previous poster said, there are at least 30-40 D1 commits every year from NOVA.  Arlington, MCLEAN, Vda, LS, TSJ and soon also VRSC will turn out at least this number.  This only references girls side.[/quote]
