That's the correct question to ask, and the answer lies in how you're viewed by BP.

Its like any MAGA social media now.
MILLIONS of coaches. More coaches then ever before in history.

It was like nothing you’ve ever seen! Coaches standing on their chairs and other coaches’ shoulders, just to get even the briefest glimpse!

I thought they all are already committed for the U19 & U17

Not at VDA, but at a club with other committed players at older ages. My DD is committed and the coaches from her committed school show up at her games to check in. They spoke with her after 2 of her 3 Jeff Cup games - didn't stick around on Sunday because they had their fist spring game and needed to get back on campus. So, not unusual to have scouts at the older age group games. Plus at U17, there is still likelihood of having 2028 grad year players or maybe an available 2027.

But, don't forget per the socials, there were also numerous NWSL scouts and USYNT scouts in attendance.

Indeed. The forwards get to play and get highlights. Pretty much the families he is scared to rock the boat with can do what they want. The other supporting cast has to fall in line or else you may ride the bench.

Sucks because those players miss out on the HS experience playing against team mates and friends while a select few get more highlights for instahype.

The point is the pressure for kids not to play is politics/leverage driven and hypocritical. Parents are too scared to speak up because of they think VDA=Auto placement.

Very few if any of the 2010s are playing HS. It was strongly discouraged.

How many homegrown kids still play for VDA (PWSI and VSA) as the years progress?

My DD is trying out for VSA tomorrow (u15 for next year) do they take a lot kids from the partner clubs as they age older?

Honestly, not many unfortunately. If she's good, she can go to another "big club" and make a name for herself and maybe eventually come back. They are collectors at older ages.

most? what school? I think you can count with one hand of number of kids playing hs soccer. Kydos for the kids that play instead of being scared of the club.

Before the argument shifted to “VDA is the best for college recruitment”, wasn’t the argument “VDA is best for development”?
