Any other šŸ  have kids in sports in hopes of getting a scholarship for college? Sometimes I wonder if I invested the money I pay for weekly pitching and hitting lessons for my daughter to play softball if Iā€™d have enough to pay for college in full and that would be a better use of the funds?

My sisters daughter played soccer for 10 years and was very good. Played travel teams for 5 years and the family spent a lot of time and money on her involvement as she wanted to play in college. As a senior in high school she said ā€œMom I donā€™t want a soccer scholarship, thatā€™s too much work I want to have fun in collegeā€.

Just beware things may not work out like you plan.

Funny... my brother is doing the same thing for my niece. I often think he is just pre-paying her college tuition with all the training and travel ball. A scholarship wonā€™t be any real money saved.. it will just be money that he wonā€™t have to pay at the time. Do what you think is best and if she enjoys it (like my niece)... all is well.
