    Only out there in chat forums. In reality, no.

      Yes there are. If your asking, your daughter is likely not good enough for a scholarship. Those kind of players have people approach their parents all the time. Does that not mean your daughter can't play at level but the kids offered Scholarships need to be game changers, at least top 20% of team she would be joining.

      It's pay to play for all but the best of the best regardless of your financial situation.

        Some of the best also prefer to pay their own way. Taking a hand out is a double edged sword.

          Referee fee's?

          League fees , tournament fees and referee fees easily add up to 6-10K per team per year.

          That's not chump change across all teams.
          About 5K per year. But the question is how many events is the DAP offering? If it's 1-2 per year, then that isn't any great shakes. Think about it. 2M per year from USSF divided by 80 clubs and then 3 age groups is about 8K per team. That's about 2.5 scholarships. I'm going to guess each premier club gives that many per team in the NPL or ECNL.

          I'm just not seeing it. Everything costs money. Fields. Indoor. Coaching. No one is going to donate their time for free nor should they. Who is US Soccer to try and dictate the marketplace? Maybe all members should get to vote on their salaries? Lol.
