So many parents here are 100% clueless. If your kid isn’t a USYNT member, it’s an uphill climb at P4. Let’s take Tennessee for example. I think they are up to 8 ‘27 commits. I would wage heavily, maybe 2 or 3 will see playing time freshman year. But hey, at least those other 6 can brag that they participate in practice meanwhile their teammate is getting Freshman of the week at ODU who turned down that partial P4 2 years earlier.

But if your DD is in it for an education as a priority, I take no issue with that decision. Unfortunately being around for so many years I know that is not the case.

This is a stupid and silly post. USYNT members include people that make camp but not roster is 45 per age group max? Each P4 will take (even with the new limits) on average 4 girls. There are about 68 P4 schools. That means they will take 272 girls for the P4. A couple of hundred more than are USNYT.

Most teams play freshman at last some. Some do not play - just like football and every other sport. Freshman volleyball girls do not play that much either.

I would much rather my kid ride the bench and graduate from VT than get a degree from ODU. It would be doing her a huge disservice to her career and life trajectory just so I can watch her play soccer for a few extra years at ODU? Talk about having messed up priorities.

Believe what you want. I follow it. There currently at least 5 freshman from our area at P4s that have not been rostered for a single game yet. There are also sophomores that have yet to see a minute including freshman year. Others have already quit.

You are also forgetting about transfer portal both leaving and incoming. Top GA players. Internationals. But yeah, if you think a role player on a good ECNL team is going to role right into a P4 and get minutes as a freshman, best of luck to you. Meanwhile, she could be Freshman of the week at ODU having a great time instead of being miserable at VT just because you wanted the “Parent of a Student Athlete at VT” bumper sticker.

Also remember just because someone may be on a good team, it doesn’t mean they are great. It’s the great players that make the other players around them better. It’s also the coach, the system, the level of competition, etc.

With new roster limits, possible 5-year eligibility, and transfer portal, less and less spots available. Should be noted ‘27 is on record pace nationwide.

Good luck!

Did you see how ga teams performed in June Showcase event? It wasn’t pretty. The only GA in the playoffs this year, also did not do very well. We heard many coaches watched the events but very few liked what they saw. 👉ECNL parent.

We “heard”. LOL. Don’t worry. You didn’t have to sign ECNL parent, it was obvious by what you said before that.

BTW, heard that team you referred to won its friendly against the amazing new Fairfax Union ECNL team last weekend. You know, that is what I heard at least.

One of our ignorant ECNL parents showing his/her ass once again.

“GA doing great in commits!!!” Said nobody in this thread.

👉ECNL parent who’s DD BFF plays for a GA team and doesn’t give a crap about ECNL vs GA

The Tennessee commit has been at Fairfax Union for years and just switched to Bethesda a month ago.

At least EIGHT players at VDA who committed have only been at VDA for a year or less. BP is on another level when it comes to getting players recruited however.

In BSC defense, the other commits have been there for years.

Arlington, NVA, and Union all have commits but there has been so much movement, I don't think any can be claimed. VDA took them all!

I don't think any of the GA teams have a commit thus far.

Does the 2027 NVA commit to Arkansas count?

That’s a crazy take. Ignorant. VT and ODU graduates or judge the same and have the same opportunities out of college? You’re an idiot.

They are not close to the same level. Huge undergrad experience difference going to VT vs ODU also. If my kid was lucky enough to be able to play college soccer I would recommend going to the best academic school possible even if that meant sacrificing soccer. An athletes life is short a good schools sets you up for the long term.

No, it doesn’t. There is no academic field of study at Old Dominion that is superior to any study at Virginia Tech.

Amazing to watch the villain arc of VT over the last 20-30 years, becoming everything they loathe(d) about UVA.

I’m glad they set up one very special child for success. I thought Loudoun had a no play up policy.
