To be honest, if you want to play college ball you can almost definitely do it if you have the passion. Its just a matter of where. Most college athletes can get some form of scholarship help.

“But in a 2019 survey on the cost of youth sports by TD Ameritrade , 40% of parents said they felt confident their child would get an athletic scholarship. They also said they were willing to cut back on spending, go into credit-card debt or delay retirement to fund their child’s sport, according to the survey of about 1,000 parents.”
