All you people need to stop posting in absolutes.
There is money. Players do get scholarships. Believe it or not...there are even full rides.
Lots of players play for no money. Some get just a tiny razor thin slice of a scholarship. Some players use soccer only for admission into a school they may not have been able to attend if not for a sport.
Be realistic with your kids talent level and dedication level early in in the process.
Gifted athlete that loves the game and always has a ball at their feet??? Sky is the limit.
Mediocre athlete, but a dedicated grinder and hard worker?? Have realistic expectations and understand that college won’t be free.
Exceptional student that is an above average competitive player??? Might be a bale to parlay that into a top flight academic institution.
Don’ t discourage parents and players from dreaming big. Just make sure the dream is realistic.
