[quote=Anonymous]The truth is the only real reason to play travel soccer is the non-monetary value it adds to you and your DC's life.  For girls, the monetary return on the investment just isnt there.  Even if you go pro, even if you make it to the NT level, unless you are Lloyd with endorsements.  The wear and tear on the body alone will outlast that money.

For boys, how many players do we have and only the tiniest percentage make it in Europe at any meaningful level (and I'm excluding Pulisic because he isn't a product of our system).

However, it is worth every penny in terms of the other things it gives, like work ethic, balancing travel against school commitments, the friendships they form, learning from seeing players from all over working at what they work at, learning that when you are on a team, some things you control and some you can't.  And it has made her so much more confident.

I would do DA all over again. My DD loves it, it's made her a better player.  Yes, it costs money.  Scholarships help, but that doesn't mean it's now free.  There are all the little extras that it doesn't pay for.  But it's worth it when that is what the player wants to do and when the family is able to support her and make those sacrifices.  [/quote]
