[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are the costs of competitive club sports, plus coach time and any misc fees, per kid to get them recruited into college?

Does it vary by sport?

What is the cumulative cost for soccer? volleyball? etc.[/quote]

Just have super smart kids who are kind and be the best in the school band or something similarly cheap & they can be at T10/ivy with no recruiting necessary and no sports cost. Both of mine are at different ivies. Most unhooked kids at the ivies are similar. The athletes get usually get mocked for not being as smart. The ones who are smart have to prove it every day in class. Even some professors assume they arent as bright and they are not taken as seriously unless they really put in the effort in seminars. I would never want my kid to be at a top school like an ivy as an athletic recruit, now that we have seen the other side.[/quote]

Depends.  In our team sport at two Ivys -- half the kids at least were pre-med track.  And not freshman saying that but seniors and juniors.  Not sure they have anything to prove.  To the contrary they mock the NARPs nonstop.[/quote]
