[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do people really consider money spent on u9-u17 soccer as an investment to be recouped by college scholarships? I never considered the money an investment. Just an activity that my kids enjoyed doing. Like sleep away camps and family vacations. I don’t expect my kids will play in college. Is scholarship money the reason for playing soccer?[/quote]

Ok but how rich are you?  If all the costs are nothing to you, then why would you care?  Buy them pricey soccer and camp and family vactions, etc.   For some games it is nothing and for some it is  a sacrifice and difficult.[/quote]

Ok, but as far as investments go you’d be better off putting the 50k into a 529 plan and letting it grow over 18 years. [/quote]

529 plans are awful and will not yield the return a 60- 80 percent scholarship will[/quote]

How many players get 60-80 percent  scholarships when rosters are filled with international players receiving full rides?[/quote]

As a I said before, a good player needs to commit below their level of play to obtain that level of scholarship. They need to be one of the top recruits for the program.

For example, a kid with a UVA offer of 25 percent….May get a 50 percent at Tech….a 75 percent at ODU…..etc[/quote]

25% at UVA is 80% at VT and full at ODU [/quote]
