Sweet,then why does other youth sports like basketball, baseball, softball not travel like soccer leagues do? They might travel regionally, but not the miles a youth soccer club does to get the kids looked at. And in the end there's more college scholarships available in those sports than soccer. Do you think soccer is the worst bang for your buck if your child chooses soccer over other sports?



Soccer is a team sport unlike tennis and golf, so in my opinion soccer gives you the best bang for your buck in chasing scholarship money in a team sport. As far as the travel issue, soccer is a middle class sport played in the suburbs unlike the other sports you mentioned. Yes there are always exceptions, however soccer is mostly played by the higher income class than the other major sports. As far as scholarships look no further than your daughters club team, I think 8 out of the starting 11 so far have received soccer money for there college, not too bad at all.
