Are you asking about the average college scholarship that ECNL players get?
All contributing ECNL players have the opportunity to play somewhere for a full scholarship. Assume 100%.
You, as a parent, can pay for academic upgrades, and she, as a player, can earn athletic upgrades.

We are a lower middle class family and are having a hard time paying for ECNL. We have had to make a lot of sacrifices, skipped vacations, no eating out etc we are considering DA for next year because I have heard there are scholarships available. Anyone know more about this? My daughter doesn’t care about playing high school soccer.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostAssuming 100% full college scholarship is not good advice, even for your average ECNL player. Maybe a few of the top scorers or best GKs on each team might get a full scholarship, but the rest won’t. Safer to assume you’ll be paying something.

Obviously this is of great concern to your family. What are your daughter's goals? Are they realistic? Is she a consistent starter on a top team? There's also going to be expenses for college recruiting. For the high school years you're easily looking at $25,000 all in if not more. That's a full year at UMASS. Are you hoping she will earn 100% full ride for college? Because that isn't realistic either. If she got 60% can you swing the remaining 40% or take out loans? Just giving you a heads up that meaningful financial aid is also difficult to qualify for. Make sure she has top grades to hopefully get decent merit aid.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIt's not good advice at all! Full rides are not at all common and are reserved for a super stud or starting GK. If 100% is your goal and you're neither of those, you very well may have to target schools/programs well below your soccer and academic ability in order to get enough athletic, merit and financial aid to arrive at 100%. It can be done but it's rare that you'd get everything you want. We're not churning out many NT players who can write their tickets.
If family is willing to do that then her combo of grades and soccer can get a full ride (to a school she doesn’t want to go to). From there she can earn and you can pay for upgrades

We play on the 05 east team and this is our first year at an ECNL club. Up to now we have spent 8400 but aren’t done yet. We predict it will be more the 9600/9700 figure come July. It’s been a good experience but has hit us hard in the pocket and if we aren’t in Lancaster, we are at least 3 hours way (driving or flying). When it’s all said and done at the end of the year we will evaluate if the miles we put on our car, the money spent on flights and hotels is really worth it. The biggest thing to take into account is the time, it’s whole weekends that are taken out to just go and play 2 70 minute games. Some games are not even close.
If earn a good amount of money, only have 1 child and are willing to give up whole weekends, including taking a lot of Fridays off. Then go for it.
