[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids at MLS Professional Club Academies like Philly Union, LA Galaxy, NY Red Bulls etc missing a couple days school (with tutoring to makeup) where it's free and no travel expenses makes sense.

If you're on pay-to-play team and have to miss school, foot travel expenses and take time off from work and other hassles, a bit too much.   [/quote]

2 DD’s. One received and one will receive free college education thanks to showcases they missed school for. [/quote]

Full College Scholarships on the Boys Side for Soccer are rare and limited. [/quote]

It’s not about the money for the boys (there is barely any). But it can get you into a college you might otherwise not have gotten into (gives you an edge similar to other extra curriculars). If you are good enough it pushes you over the line assuming you meet a minimum standard for the school. If the goal is college support, showcases aren’t any different than debate tournaments that kids miss school for. [/quote]

My kids stuck with getting the grades and scores- so they had the stats to apply anywhere.  This also pushes you above the line of other players of sane skill. Hey coach- I have straight As and a 36 ACT. [/quote]
