That was in reference to saving $ since nobody is getting $ from colleges, particularly on the boys’ side and the quality of schools is low.

Don’t listen to this guy. He’s inexperienced. A large number of girls on my kids team went to school on fulls rides. Mostly athletic money. Mostly non-Power 5. [/quote]

I guess you missed the part where he said 'particularly on the boys' side'.  Parents of boys should assume they are getting no $ and/or the school will be shite.  Girls and Boys are very different in this regard.[/quote]
This is silly. There are boys from our area right now on most Ivy teams and many on teams at highly academic P5 (and non-P5) schools, many of whom are receiving significant scholarship $$. If your son played DA or plays MLSNext, you know these kids and others like them, and same for other top teams. Not every boy has the academic ability or talent to get to these schools, but lots of talented boys will also end up with decent money at good state flagships and other academically fine to good schools.

Parents of boys should do the exact same thing as parents of girls, which is to make an annual assessment from age 10 or so of kid’s talent level and interest, level of play, any additional training needs, and whether the family finances support continuing.  By MS age, you also should begin to have a clearer picture of their academic abilities and need for support, if any.  If you do this, it will be easy for you to find a tier of schools that are good fits for your kid, and if they are very talented and have great grades, both boys and girls will have good options.
