Quote: I just find it amazing that people drop this much money on this. I make plenty of money, but don't wish to spend 3-4% of my income on soccer for one child. If that is what you want to do, feel free to drive the economy.
Ah, but when I see the enjoyment my child gets from playing soccer...3-5% of my income is a great investment. Maybe keeping her involved in soccer at this level (Club & HS) keeps her away from some of the trouble that other kids seem to get caught up in. Again, our family believes the investment is more than worth the return.
