Tournament travel still banned for NY clubs continue to ignore
Originally posted by Unregistered View PostNot OP but your comment of "Is there more scholarship money for a kid that plays soccer compared to an academic scholarship?.....NO!" isn't necessarily true. Several kids on my D's team are getting 75% for soccer from solid level academic schools and aren't getting academic aid...based on their grades and SAT, they most likely wouldn't have even been accepted without soccer.

The statistics do not support your argument (kudos to your checkbook and your Ds accomplishments she probably special). The statistics are even more dificult for boys.
The reality is statistically soccer is not a smart gamble for a scholarship.

My D also runs track and plays lacrosse for her High School, but does not participate in either of those sports outside of school. We are not expecting her to be in competition for a scholarship for either of those sports, lol, statistically it is not a smart gamble for her.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI've seen this chart a gazillion times, it's based on "High School Participants". My kid's High School team has about 30 kids. 2 play ECNL, and maybe 4 or 5 play ECRL or USYS/EDP. The majority of the rest of the team don't play outside of HS. So yeah, statistically soccer is not a smart gamble for a scholarship for those players.

Originally posted by Unregistered View Postthat is a bs opinion....we can take that dumb@ss philosophy further. if thats the case, soccer and probably all sports is unnecessary. I mean really, what good is playing soccer compared to taking that time and studying?
Is there more scholarship money for a kid that plays soccer compared to an academic scholarship?.....NO!
Will you eventually make more $$$$ as a soccer player compared to being a talented professional lawyer. businessman, contractor, doctor, engineer, architect? NO!

Originally posted by Unregistered View Postno its based on HS aged kids! (you need to open your eyes, would it make you feel better if the author simply reworded the column heading correctly?) you are only familiar with your own little game (soccer) many activities on this list have heavy participation HS as well as club. Like Soccer, most club players play for their HS as well.

Like I said, plenty of kids that participate in High School sports that have no desire to participate outside of High School or afterwards.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYour statements are very accurate. The people coming on here stating that female soccer players are getting 75% scholarship money is a very very rare event. Especially kids from the Northeast.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIt is as rare as a good filet mignon. I would like to know what college that is so generous. I have a daughter playing D1 who was fortunate to get scholarship offers from 3 colleges. Each one was very similar. The way it works depends on how many full scholarships the program gets. The general rule is the women’s soccer program gets between 11-14 full scholarships to be divided for the entire program. Very few get a full scholarship and very few get 75% with the majority getting 1/3 to 1/4 depending on the player. You can make up the difference with either financial aid, grants and merit scholarships. This statement of numerous players getting 3/4 (75%) is just not true. Women’s soccer (Olympic sport) non revenue generating is run on a very tight budget sprinkled with a good amount of walk ons to add depth.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostMy experience is different. The kids I'm referring to were 1st or 2nd recruit picks for the schools, apparently if you're at the top of the list, you get more of an offer. Your kid was either low balled or low on the list, 1/2 is average. Thanks for the lesson, but these schools are fully funded with the full 14. My kid's recruiting class is 5, 2 at 75% 3 at 50%...that's 3 full, Class before hers was 6, probably similar allotment. Bigger class the year before, but I'm assuming the 2-3 that don't touch the field are probably in the 1/4 range...but thanks for weighing in on a particular situation you know nothing about.

Finally - accept the fact that your particular experience is yours and that there are many different ones out there by families and coaches with more experience than your pinky finger.
