My P4 D1 played a national schedule - CA, GA, KS, CO, etc. for a few years, finishing up not to long ago. A dozen or more tournaments per year in summer and fall.
If I added team fees, lessons, team fees and travel, I was easily over $25k a year - likely closer to $35k a year.
But there are lots of D1 schools out there, and you don’t have to play coast to coast depending upon your goal and talent level. Western Illinois and Florida are both D1, but those are different recruiting paths
And, if your kid is national level talent, they’re going to get offers to play on teams for free with expenses and gear covered.
