While ECNL rules for the majority of P4 commits, their are still hundreds recruited from GA. You are actually the one with no clue. There are over 1,000 commitments each year to D1 alone and around a 70/30 split between ECNL/GA. You can't right off 300 players just because you have a clueless opinion. Their are quite a few players on the same level as the top ECNL players as well. I just watched those players for Tophat, SDA, among others.

Not sure if you are a VDA parent, but having someone like BP on your side is a difference maker. For better or for worse. Remember, just because your DD might go P4, it doesn't necessarily mean they belong. Just look at VT and JMU transfer portal alone. If your child goes P4, gets little to no minutes, is unhappy, transfers, she is either going to Mid-major, bottom D1, or quitting all together. With an attitude like some of you have, don't be surprised when you end up in this boat.

Our DD has had offers from P4, D1, D2, and DIII. DD is actually leaning DIII currently and the recruiting process is still heavily busy among mid-majors. P4s are pretty much wrapped up with a few spots still available. DD does not want to play P4 for multiple reasons. Personally I wanted her to take on the challenge but also understand the risks...We have received two emails just yesterday from more mid major D1 schools requesting a call. Both specifically mentioned watching her at Champions Cup. Both are also quality schools.

The only place where I would bash GA is the bottom table teams. Bottom table ECNL teams would likely beat bottom table GA teams by double digits. IMO, the majority of players on these GA teams will struggle to even play DIII while the ECNL counterpart should be able to play DIII easily.

This is from someone with an actual clue!

Why would you bash the bottom table teams? Do you really think all those players obsess about playing for a P4 or DIII? For those kids who do make it, congratulations. They extend their soccer careers for a few more years before they all end up in the same beer league after.

At what age and what Group were they in? GA showcases are not random, they rank/seed them ... the higher group in the showcase the better the teams ... Some of those teams are still eligible to get the final 4 spots in Champions Cup as a wildcard.

It's a joke. SYC was at NCFC

What's a joke is that VRSC has only won 1 game out in CA so far

Final tally VRSC was 1-15-2 in Champions Cup over all age groups. Not a great showing for the area’s so called premier club.

Wow, just tells you how bad all of the GA Clubs in our area are. Charlotte Independence is the best Club currently in MA South. SYC, McLean, NVA And VRSC are all close to 2nd or tied for 2nd for next years bid.

VRSC 09s are in 1st place overall and lost all 3 games. So we know where the rest would finish. Most of the other age groups are 7th place or higher in the table. Other than SYC, the existing GA Clubs probably would have had an even uglier showing. SYC probably similar or a little better.

Just a hunch but I don’t think anyone from Mid Atlantic South will do much better next year. This isn’t just VRSC but more the Division.

Remember, VRSC got Champions Cup by having better overall records than SYC, Skyline, Triangle, Wake, CDA and StJ last season. VRSC or any of these other clubs would not turn down the opportunity to play in Champions Cup if offered. Not their fault.

I’m guessing posters either lack perspective, lack common sense, or have unfaithful wives. Maybe all three.

didnt MA break up. So technically they still backed into it. If GA was smarter they would of waited a year before selecting a GA south team that wasn’t competitive in the legacy division.

Let’s face if your daughter had these so called offers from P4 and D1 she wouldn’t be leaning DIII.

Anyone diminishing a kid playing D3 as some sort of failure is an idiot or a troll. D3 is still a major accomplishment, especially so considering many of the top academic schools are D3. This person either doesn’t understand how hard it is to play in college or doesn’t understand college academics. There should be an immediate blocking from this site for anyone that doesn’t understand this.

almost anyone who’s played club soccer can find a D3 team if they are passionate. Not much of an accomplishment.

3% of female high school soccer players make D3. https://www.ncaa.org/sports/2024/4/15/womens-soccer-probability-of-competing-beyond-high-school.aspx I have not found stats showing % of club soccer players. Please share your sources that “almost anyone who’s played club soccer can find a D3 team if passionate.” I await you responding in actual facts, or your admission you don’t know what you are talking about. Not holding my breath, because that would require being a man and knowledgeable. My guess is there are no facts coming from you, but merely some unverified opinions or insults showing you don’t know what you are talking about. Looking forward to your response.

My thoughts as well. All the money and time you put into a sport to play DIII. 😳

DIII parents will use the excuse I want a good education. If that in fact was the case why did you play the sport and why didn’t you just worry about Kumon or Huntington Learning.

If you are that passionate to defend DIII and come on this board to see what is going on in little kiddos soccer then you were that passionate to get your child DI. Don’t make excuses that you want a good education now that you have no options at D1.

Do you know the % that turn down D3 or D2 because they want to go to a D1 school. Not for sports at the D1 school but just want to go to a big D1 school for that life and not play D3 or D2 soccer.

D3 roster spots are there for just about anyone who wants one.

So much name calling and anger here “man”

That post that you quoted didn’t insult anyone it just stated how easy D3 is.

You proved my point. No facts. How about this. Here are the top D3 women’s soccer schools https://www.ncsasports.org/best-colleges/best-division-3-soccer-colleges?eid=32501&slim=1&utm_source=NCSA%2520Google.com&utm_medium=paid-social&utm_campaign=_%5BUS-en_PBM_NB_Exact_AI-Max_Search_Google%5D&utm_term=&utm_content=&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22860071455&gbraid=0AAAAAD-pBsuq0h7X0B-hkGJrodVuM8n5E&gclid=Cj0KCQiArt_JBhCTARIsADQZaylpMXWThjpgYabsSxi1sxaXsN4BMNg2OC6LrP6D6ssXQGyl1kW8cIwaAm9yEALw_wcB. Other than Stanford and Duke, a good portion of these schools are better academic schools than D1. If you can use soccer to help getting into these schools, all the better. The stats showing that less than 8.5 % of high school players make D1-D3. But sure almost everyone who is passionate and plays on a club team can make it. My guess is you have no facts at all, never played college soccer, and given your responses also did not attend college.

Here are the top D3 women’s soccer schools https://www.ncsasports.org/best-colleges/best-division-3-soccer-colleges?eid=32501&slim=1&utm_source=NCSA%2520Google.com&utm_medium=paid-social&utm_campaign=_%5BUS-en_PBM_NB_Exact_AI-Max_Search_Google%5D&utm_term=&utm_content=&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22860071455&gbraid=0AAAAAD-pBsuq0h7X0B-hkGJrodVuM8n5E&gclid=Cj0KCQiArt_JBhCTARIsADQZaylpMXWThjpgYabsSxi1sxaXsN4BMNg2OC6LrP6D6ssXQGyl1kW8cIwaAm9yEALw_wcB. Other than Stanford and Duke, a good portion of these schools are better academic schools than D1. If you can use soccer to help getting into these schools, all the better. The stats showing that less than 8.5 % of high school players make D1-D3. But sure almost everyone who is passionate and plays on a club team can make it. My guess is you have no facts at all, never played college soccer, and given your responses also did not attend college.

There is no point in arguing with fools. You tried, but they are fools for a reason. In this instance, and with most things in life, it will take them years to understand what an intelligent person can glean from your post in a matter of mere minutes.

While ECNL rules for the majority of P4 commits, their are still hundreds recruited from GA. You are actually the one with no clue. There are over 1,000 commitments each year to D1 alone and around a 70/30 split between ECNL/GA. You can't right off 300 players just because you have a clueless opinion. Their are quite a few players on the same level as the top ECNL players as well. I just watched those players for Tophat, SDA, among others.

Not sure if you are a VDA parent, but having someone like BP on your side is a difference maker. For better or for worse. Remember, just because your DD might go P4, it doesn't necessarily mean they belong. Just look at VT and JMU transfer portal alone. If your child goes P4, gets little to no minutes, is unhappy, transfers, she is either going to Mid-major, bottom D1, or quitting all together. With an attitude like some of you have, don't be surprised when you end up in this boat.

Our DD has had offers from P4, D1, D2, and DIII. DD is actually leaning DIII currently and the recruiting process is still heavily busy among mid-majors. P4s are pretty much wrapped up with a few spots still available. DD does not want to play P4 for multiple reasons. Personally I wanted her to take on the challenge but also understand the risks...We have received two emails just yesterday from more mid major D1 schools requesting a call. Both specifically mentioned watching her at Champions Cup. Both are also quality schools.

The only place where I would bash GA is the bottom table teams. Bottom table ECNL teams would likely beat bottom table GA teams by double digits. IMO, the majority of players on these GA teams will struggle to even play DIII while the ECNL counterpart should be able to play DIII easily.

This is from someone with an actual clue!

Let’s face if your daughter had these so called offers from P4 and D1 she wouldn’t be leaning DIII.

Anyone diminishing a kid playing D3 as some sort of failure is an idiot or a troll. D3 is still a major accomplishment, especially so considering many of the top academic schools are D3. This person either doesn’t understand how hard it is to play in college or doesn’t understand college academics. There should be an immediate blocking from this site for anyone that doesn’t understand this.

almost anyone who’s played club soccer can find a D3 team if they are passionate. Not much of an accomplishment.

3% of female high school soccer players make D3. https://www.ncaa.org/sports/2024/4/15/womens-soccer-probability-of-competing-beyond-high-school.aspx I have not found stats showing % of club soccer players. Please share your sources that “almost anyone who’s played club soccer can find a D3 team if passionate.” I await you responding in actual facts, or your admission you don’t know what you are talking about. Not holding my breath, because that would require being a man and knowledgeable. My guess is there are no facts coming from you, but merely some unverified opinions or insults showing you don’t know what you are talking about. Looking forward to your response.

The post said club soccer not high school soccer.

We get it, you can’t provide facts and you have no reading comprehension - no wonder you don’t understand college choices…

We get it, your daughter has no D1 offers or options so DIII is great!

Once again, no facts, and the proclamations you make are dead wrong. Will you give up? Provide facts? Or just man up, like I said before and admit you are wrong? So far you have shown you are dead wrong, devoid of facts, and quite honestly stupid. So unless you actually respond with actual facts to respond to your inane comments, I won’t bother to respond, and everyone will see you have no ground to stand on. Goodbye Karen.

Cc destroyed the vrsc 09 team by being overly ambition and selecting second rate players. He's also overly influenced by ED who didn't get along with BP because he so unorganized. cc will likely quit or get fired. allhedoes is yell and berate young female players. That team only had one goalie and they had to promise her full time to get her on the team. I don't know how he get immunity from his 2 year old antics. No other coach has such immunity. He clearly doesn't develop players. The ECNL teams in the area aren't much better. You have BP stealing talent from all the other clubs to stack teams. Fairfax Union or whatever it's called now has dropped significantly for similar reasons. All that's left is Arlington and VDA for decent ECNL teams. GA will soon surpass these clubs because it's a better turn league and has a strategic advantage with the boys teams in MLS next. These clubs all basically crap on girls soccer

Yeah so anyway - the Winter Showcase was great!
