[quote=Anonymous]I have been a guidance counselor and have seen the way this plays out. I am certain a lot of these parents shuffling kids to NC and NY and flying to the Midwest (?!) are chasing the scholarship dollar. It all can come at a tremendous cost that will probably end up being more than whatever grant the kid gets. The travel, the ODP or showcase tournaments, extra coaching, etc. not to mention disrupted family time. From the NCAA: “Do the Math! NCAA Division I men's Soccer teams have an average roster size of 29 players but only a maximum of 9.9 athletic scholarships to award per team. This means the average award covers only about 1/3 of a typical athlete's annual college costs - and this assumes the sport is fully funded at the sponsoring school.” (plenty are not) [/quote]
