[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]D1 full ride scholarships are SUPER rare. Most swim, field hockey, lax, etc. are only on tuition or more than likely PARTIAL tuition scholarships. Tuition at a state school is only like $12k-16k a year. So 10+ years of travel sports and squandering all your weekends and after-school carpooling for 50 grand? Dumb.

What's dumber than that? Letting your kid go to some sh*thole private school in the middle of nowhere so they can keep their silly dream alive. A dream they have a 90% chance of quitting once they ride the bench and discover partying & casual hookups.[/quote]

Judge much? My DD quit sports by high school (for academics) but I enjoyed taking her to her travel games and practices for a few years. 
It was fun to watch them play, taught her hard work and some social skills and I enjoyed socializing with the other families

For some people, especially those who aren’t geniuses in school, sports might be a great career path for them. Maybe that obscure private school will be great for them. [/quote]
