This conversation isn’t for you. Go to the 08 thread

how can anyone honestly contribute when all you can do is assume the scholarship money provided to any child? Nothing on this forum is honest. Get a life. This isn't a documentary.

Completely agree

1. You didn’t know WF was ACC and this a Power 5.
2. No you’re assuming that I’m assuming.

Parents talk. Kids talk. Yes, some may over-hype it..but almost none under-hype it….and from what I’m seeing, the majority of Power 5 commits are receiving way below 50 percent athletic scholarships. The kids that commit early in the process are receiving the most. (Both Power 5 and non-Power 5)

Look at Topdrawer soccer. Look at the current Class of 2023 commits as they roll in. I would venture to guess that those listed are your 75 percent and above athletic scholarship kids.

Now, if you sit patiently

Keep Guessing. No one cares what you guess. Real kids with real scholarship money keep their mouths closed about the amount.
I'll wait.

You’re wrong. Lol.

The FCV commits aren’t leading the money board FYI.

How in the world would you know?

It is pretty well understood that full rides for women's soccer are extremely rare and at a Power 5 schools are reserved exclusively for regular National Team players. The money has always been and will always be spread around nearly the entirety of the team.

Take a look at the roster - It's simple math

International kids get 100% every time.. required for VISAs
Subtract those kids from the 14 scholarships, and look at how many kids are on the roster. Not a lot of full rides going on.

Has your child been recruited? What was your experience?

I have a kid who’s school was fully paid for. Mostly athletic money - some academic money. Not a Power 5 program…nor did we target Power 5 because we knew to get the money you have to be a top recruit for that specific program. My kid would not have been a top recruit for Power 5 which means her money would have been greatly reduced. So we targeted mid-tier programs and found what we were looking for.

Decent program with better academic reputation. Savings of 150,000

Richmond leads the way and includes an impressive list of commits to Power 5 programs. VDA, FCV, Bethesda and MUFC all have a half dozen or more commits. Even Arlington has a handful.

According to soccerwire, the commits reported are: FCV -12, Richmond -8, Arlington -6, BRYC -5, Bethesda -4, MUFC -3, VDA -3, McLean -2, Metro -2, Loudoun -1.

FCV leads the way.

New to area soccer and live in Herndon. Do Herndon/Reston players usually try out for one of the above if trying to play in college?

For Reston, Herndon you should try: BRYC, VDA, McLean, Metro or Loudoun.

Would you honestly recommend Metro or BRYC over FCV?

Depends on your players skill level.

More people should figure this out when making their target school list if athletic money is being sought. Target the wrong schools and you can miss the ship.

Yes. My child was recruited. The process is difficult. Lots of visits, lots of research. Trying to find the right mix of excellent school and soccer. As with all the other kids, it all worked out in the end.

There are many kids who just dont announce. If you are looking at Top Drawer soccer for your information, It's likely not complete.

what is a mid tier school? Can someone give some examples? Does that mean not division 1?

It’s not mid-tier school. It’s mid-tier program.

I would say a mid-tier program would be ranked 100-250 out of 330 plus programs.

For me, Davidson would be a top tier school with a mid-tier program.

Davidson’s a great example. YMMV — here’s the NCAA D1 rankings this week, 1 to 316. https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/soccer-women/d1/ncaa-womens-soccer-rpi. Find your kid’s academic matches and stretches and see where those schools tend to land on this list week to week or season to season.
