Club sports are not a guarantee to getting a college scholarship. Do not bet your future on a $10,000 non-renewable stipend.
Club sports are not a guarantee to playing your sport in college, period.
The research is painfully clear and published by the NCAA.
It's these two links.
The first one is "Did NCAA Student-Athletes Compete on High School or Club Teams?"
ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/res…
Women's gymnastics or men's ice hockey are the top two sports by percentage that had 'Club Team Only' athletes represented in the NCAA.
Why? ... did your high school team have a state affiliated Ice Hockey or Gymnastics team? Yeah me neither.
The second link is one I've referenced MANY times in the past. It's the "Estimated probability of competing in college athletics"
ncaa.org/student-athletes/pr…
This is a table that should be burned into the brain's of every high school athlete that wants to play in college.
Because you need to understand that the chance of you doing so is winning the lottery. The overall % for most sports is less than 5%.
This isn't to dissuade you from trying.
It's a financial reality check. Just because college coaches watch another thousand kids play at a weekend tournament doesn't mean they are there to see you.
Playing in another showcase, for another club team, is not the path to afford college.
I earned over $80,000 in scholarships to attend Trine University.
Zero of that was athletic.
All of it was academic. Because DIII has no athletic scholarships. Period.
Even then, I had a 2% probability of running Track and Field at Trine.
So before you think I need to put all my chips on my next club season to make it to college...stop. Get good grades first.
In season school team > out of school club team > out of season sport.
It's a priority conversation.
Multisport athletes shouldn't be punished by ego tripping adults because they are talented and can't be in two places at once.
(Again what Shawn is asking, when did Club teams get all this power???).
I've seen this with football, baseball, soccer, volleyball, swimming. This kind of conflict is never in the kid's best interest.

More evidence for the sensitive period hypothesis: Boys are especially "imprinted" by the teams that won championships when boys were 8-12.
Their brains are soaking up culture and values, weighted by prestige. Don't let social media choose who imprints and guides their brain dev
Whoever wins the #worldseries tonight is going to make a legion of fans for life.
The psychology of fans and how people identify with sports teams is fascinating.
Like goslings, young boys imprint on the team that wins when they are young. A championship leads kids to identify with a team for life--especially boys aged 8-12.
This is when I became a Toronto @BlueJays fan for life and it has been followed by 32 years of suffering.
The psychology of female fans is slightly different. They can identify with a team at any age.
But one way or the other, tonight will create an entirely new generation of fans. nytimes.com/2014/04/20/opini…

👇 Same for youth sport coaches - No Laps, No Lines, No Lectures!!
Always a good reminder: Teacher talk in #PhysEd should be concise and to the point. Try and give just 1 teaching point at a time, and avoid speaking longer than 3-minutes.Learn more about Student Engagement at: thepeproject.com/MSE/index.h…

If you can’t coach middle schoolers, then you just can’t coach.
Coaching people that are already good at everything and want to get better is easy.
Coaching people that have the coordination of a newborn gazelle is hard, and if you don’t control the room, they’ll burn it down.
