Does anyone have any insight into how the Spirit VA DA roster is shaking out? Are they getting kids from BRYC? |
What age group? |
My daughter received and accepted a DA offer from spirit, but isn't from one of the often-mentioned clubs, so we've had no one to chat with about the roster. we're as curious as you!! Maybe a parent with more sideline knowledge of BRYC, FCV, Loudoun etc can pass along sideline rumor -- someone had to have been talking about it during last weekend's tournaments. |
Some offers to FCV and Loudoun kids. |
what age groups? |
U14 |
U14 and above. Too much talent in Spirits geographical area to get consumed by a single club. And when DA trumps ECNL they will get Mclean. In due time |
I think people here are understimating the amount of traffic on a daily basis parents will have to slog through. Once the press teens have some say in what they want to do, the amount of players interested in DA level time commitment. The parents may be willing to pay and drive, the players will ultimately decide how much effort they put in. College is the best a female can hope for for women's soccer. If you argue that DA is going to be a path, then I would argue you have chosen am expensive laborious path that other players in the past didn't. I would also say there are plenty of girls that are going to play college ball by just being on their travel teams. Is any parent really going to tell their daughter she should skip college to play "pro" for a few months in the year for teams that are televised on Lifetime? Show your daughter dome financial sense now and don't buy this load of crap US Soccer is selling. |
Hate to tell you that it's already being done. It's called ECNL. I think you under estimate what parents and kids are willing to do.
#2: if college is the end game then DA or ECNL is where it's at. If you want to argue stats we can. |
Here is a tip. Research your local non-ecnl club and look at college comittments. Then look at the local ecnl club and look at college comittments. This should answer you question. |
Well BRYC had 35 girls with college commitments over the last 4 years without ECNL. So ECNL is obviously not the only local path to playing in college. http://www.eliteclubsnationalleague.com/2017/01/20/bryc-elite-academy-to-join-boys-ecnl-girls-ecnl-for-2017-18-season/ |
Well FCV had over 50 is 3 years...soo |
9 out of 10 ECNL kids play college soccer...soo |
That is an impressive number -- particularly with three ECNL clubs in the same metro area. |
2 ECNL clubs in Nova...not three...and the comittments came from national level teams...which is why BRYC is known as a good club and why they got ECNL |
