[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]there are very few full scholarships in women's soccer.

Full college scholarships go to football, men's basketball, women's gymnastics and track and field. Other sports could have books only scholarships. You are delusional if you think your daughter is getting a full ride for soccer.[/quote]

If the girl is signing an NLI, she is getting some athletic $$$. Likely not a full scholarship, but something.  [/quote]

So many of those are staged, our high school does that every year for all kids going to play at any level in college.  They put a hat on, sign a piece of blank paper and their friends cheer.  [/quote]

The event is staged, but the NLI is a formal agreement that details the financial support the athlete receives from the school for the next year.  http://www.nationalletter.org/aboutTheNli/index.html [/quote]

And yet soccer is not a head count sport so there is no presumption of a full ride. This understood in relation to women's college soccer. Nobody is deluded into thinking that there will be a full ride at the end of the rainbow. There is hope that a partial scholarship can bring private or out of state school tuition in line with in-state tuition though. [/quote]

Let's not pretend that kids are playing for scholarship money. Kids are playing because the love the sport and want to reach their potential and see where it takes them while also doing the same with academics and other talents. [/quote]
