She played varsity all 4 years and fell short last time.
She’s convinced they’ll win states this year.

Team is 95% ECNL and DA material.

Material? Either they are or they are not. There is no team 90 percent ECNL level. And the DA doesn’t exist

Yes, material. Out of 25 girls 22 play in ECNL and GA. Former DA. And yes, there is such a team. My daughter’s.

That's 88%.

BS. Not even Battlefield nor Riverside has those numbers. Maybe and Arlington school.....maybe....still doubtful

Your ignorance is showing. But that’s ok. Once DD gets back in June 26 with the championship from VA Beach we’ll get back to you 😘

Riverside, right? Lots of FCV and Loudoun there.

Riverside has crappy performances. That might explain it.

You go girl! One thing I like about VB is they come with what they've got. Win or lose, it's not all the club switching and animosity. Same with most places. No excuses.

We are also glad to not pay for it.

I’m struggling to understand why your kid would play a final year of club if he no longer wants to, has no plans to play in college, and you no longer want to pay for it. The exercise and camaraderie are great, but if he has plenty of other friends the social aspect is covered, and he can get a good workout in a variety of ways.

I am a bit surprised by the people claiming that their kids got burned out by soccer in HS. I know plenty of kids who dropped the sport in elementary or MS, but almost none still playing in HS who felt like quitting entirely. Keep in mind that rec soccer is excellent for kids who want a less intense experience, and all the kids I know who played in HS but did not commit to a college team have loved playing club soccer in college.

Happens across many sports: Some folks actually choose college for the academics. And it's not a surprise just by reading this forum, with all the politicking and negativity that exists in youth soccer and crazy/intense parents that some kids would have the self awareness to say this is BS. Kids quitting in HS to suck face with their bf or gf? Makes a lot of sense to HS kids I bet.

I just hope their love for the game isn't gone completely that they don't pick it back up as adults for fun I have a relative who was all state in HS with D1 offers in sport but chose a different school and isn't playing anything but club at the moment. Spouse did same thing. Whether or not they regret it who can say--but regret probably isn't the right word, but they do wonder what it might have been like if they had continued playing.

I’m going to to guess that 91% of the posters on DCUM choose college for the academics, but I’m not sure how that relates to OP’s question. If you are still playing in HS, you most likely love the game, yes? College club soccer and adult rec are excellent ways to continue with the sport and meet people. My point is only that high school is not the time people typically quit a sport due to burnout.
