Are you kidding? Travel soccer costs the earth and 12 year old kids are running around in new $150 kangaroo skin cleats and $200 Adidas warm ups every season. Don't know a travel soccer player that hasn't had uber expensive private footskills lessons or goalie training. And then tack on the explosive performance classes they go to. Softball, baseball, and basketball have all become year round travel sports. No chance of doing a high school sport here if you haven't been on a travel team. So that just leaves football, which hogs virtually every college athletic scholarship. Running is the best for the masses. They let everyone participate in track or cross country no matter how fast or how slow.
Even for Freshman?
