quote:Well, I guess you miss totally the point of this whole thread because poor families (white, black, purple, brown, red, you name it) 4 grand is a huge deal. We did it as something of an investment thinking he had college scholarship level talent. We were fortunate in that we could do it. Kids probably more talented than my kid could not pull it off.
It was like 4 grand a summer for an out of town tournament every weekend, multiple showcases, and atleast three in town games during the week. It really wasn't that big of a deal, and I could drive for the last three years of playing

You missed my earlier point too that the complex I played out of(as well as other programs around Atlanta) would play against these poorer teams and recruit the top players off them and essentially give them scholarships to come play with us
