Once a month take 30 minutes to review the content and update the outdated crap. Sheesh.

NP here. If anyone does know about Arlington I would love to know. A neighbor's daughter plays for them, she's so good, and I know they were hoping she would sign with a school, but I am too chicken to ask in case it didn't work out. If it did work out I would love to send them flowers and maybe some school swag. She's such a good kid.

Check Twitter for announcements from the College soccer team or teams if you know where she was looking. They typically release a blurb about their incoming recruiting class. Some high schools do this for recruited students as well.

This is incorrect. You do not sign a letter of intent unless you are receiving an athletic scholarship. It is a legally binding contract providing that the athlete is committing to play their sport at the college for at least one year in return for an athletic scholarship. It is true that the scholarship agreement documents are separate, and those are what show the scholarship amount. You can commit to a school without receiving money, and some kids D1 or D2 committed kids who are receiving no scholarships, as well as some D3 athletes, participate in commitment ceremonies made to look like the real D1 National letter of intent signing ceremony.

That is absolutely NOT TRUE. Signing the letter of intent does not require any Athletic Scholarship be given. It simply means they have been accepted into the school with the intent on playing for the school.

What? This is totally wrong. There are absolutely letters of intent signed with no money.

FCV has several players committed to Virginia Tech.

Many from one team to a state school means not a lot of money.

A Letter of Intent is a legally-binding contract which says that you will attend that college for a minimum of 1 academic year in exchange for an athletic scholarship.

You have been fooled into believing it’s for everyone because everyone participates In the ceremony now.

This isn’t negotiable - a NLI is only when the school is offering financial aid for athletics.

Yes. I made the original comment above about how letters of intent are signed only if you receive a scholarship. Those of you who don’t understand how NLIs work can read about them here: https://www.ncsasports.org/recruiting/managing-recruiting-process/national-signing-day. Sometimes high schools or clubs stage commitment events where athletes appear to be signing a document. Typically the documents are props for the photo ops. You will see these “signing” ceremonies for D3 kids and kids attending Ivies, none of whom, of course, received athletic scholarships. That should be your first clue that you are not watching a kid signing an NLI.

This is all something you know if your kid receives a D1 scholarship of any level, and also something you know if your kid commits to a D1 program but receives no scholarship. If you are not in that position, you should brush up on facts before confidently stating how it all works.

How many girls does Arlington have at that age group?

Everybody knows so much. A simple google search for ncaa sports and you will find

The National Letter of Intent (NLI) is a contract signed by both the student-athlete and their college. All NLI contracts must include an athletic aid agreement or athletic scholarship that lists the amount of athletic aid the athlete is being offered for their first academic year.
