[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Copied from a post in another site:

“Somebody once said "Whatever your club fees are, double them for your travel expenses." For us, $3,400 fees = $6,800 travel expenses = $10,200/yr

2-3 lessons/week * 46 weeks/year @ $50/lesson = $5,750

Personal Trainer 38 weeks/year @ $35/session x 2/week = $2,660

3-4 Camps/Summer (including travel) = $3,400

Equipment, Shoes, etc. $400/year

Total: $22,410/year for national/open level team, Power5/D1 aspirations[/quote]

That's why they say you are prepaying for a scholarship.

Put that money in a 529, play above average level sports that cost 1/4 that and enjoy the savings and time doing multiple sports.  or spend that money, your kid will have a 2% chance of getting a scholarship worth 22k a year.  [/quote]

2% at best - a lot of the ‘college recruits’ from even the top clubs are walk ons. They don’t tell you that when posting where their kids are going. Scholarships are reserved for the best of the best or to entice good players to D1 schools that are weak academically and most folk in this region have never heard of.[/quote]
