Interesting article. Its essential point seems to be that "serious" elite youth sports isn't for everyone. No argument there. I'd even agree that it isn't even right for every kid who has the ability to compete at the elite levels. Every family and young athlete has to decide what is the best use of scarce commodities - like time and money. There are options available to suit most every level of involvement they might decide is appropriate. What may not always occur is the ability to afford the preferred option. I don't have an answer for that - as I've said, the cost is the cost, mainly for travel. I still don't know who it is that gbdawg thinks is getting rich off of club soccer.
