Unless my kid can get at least that, she's going to to a great college this year and getting a free education (while playing soccer).
Serious response to a serious post.
College soccer will hurt your DD’s professional career. Women’s professional soccer has existed the college-to-pro pathway, conventional wisdom has not caught up.
DD also trains with and NWSL team, a European top-league professional club in the summers, and is YNT. Also has agent and a scout / consultant that has helped us navigate.
If your DD wants to play pro at highest levels, with best remuneration, she has to skip college soccer.
