Playing sports may or may not have anything to do with ending up with a scholarship, depending on the child. Our daughter played competitive soccer from age 5 through college, including school and traveling teams. She also played softball through middle school (school and traveling teams), but we then told her she had to choose - there just weren't enough hours in the day, or money in the bank for both. We took our camper to tournaments if there was a convenient campground nearby. Usually, we knew the schedule, including tournaments, well in advance (except for school playoff situations).
