[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Besides the very few who are good enough to play high level and maybe even get some scholarship money, for the most part it’s so the parents can justify the money spent (wasted) on years of travel soccer and - probably more importantly - so the parents can brag to their friends about it, not knowing that most people don’t care.

Bitter much? It has nothing to do with justifying the money spent on travel soccer in our house. I would have supported my student in anything they had a passion for - it happened to be soccer. If you do your research early on you would realize that getting a D1 athletic scholarship is pretty slim. When you are realistic about the ROI, and let your student follow their passion - there is nothing else to consider. We didn't do it to brag, we didn't do it because we were going to get a reduction in college costs (that's what the 529 and working hard at our jobs was for). So many bitter, short-sighted folks on here. [/quote]
