[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=NOVASoccerCoach][quote=Anonymous]What does a girl's soccer player outside of ECNL/DA have to do to get recruited by a top 25 women's soccer program? It seems like few programs recruit at the non-ECNL/DA showcases. I know ID camps help but even those camps, ECNL/DA players get more attention. It seems like even the top non-ECNL/DA clubs don't have high placement at top schools.[/quote]

Girls usually no. Boys it depends. [/quote]

Coach, what is the ultimatum age for a girl to join ECNL?  Also, what is the latest age should a girl join ECNL?[/quote]

Not the coach, but if a kid isn't playing ECNL at U13, it will get harder each year to break in to a team.  It can certainly happen, but they would need to be able to play well at the faster pace that you typically see in ECNL (or GDA at U14).  The kids that are on these teams are not sitting idle--they are working hard to improve as well.  Also--if your kid wants to try out for an ECNL/GDA team, don't just show up at the scheduled tryouts--teams are often set by then.  Have your kid go and train with the team and get feedback from the coach.  You'll probably be able to tell yourself where they stack up.[/quote]
