[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a parent on the u19 Bethesda MLSNext team...I think 10 or 11 boys are committed to Univ of MD, Georgetown, Harvard, Yale, American U, Mary Washington and maybe 1 other school...   [/quote]

Bethesda does seem to always have the highest college placement of any of the local clubs.

I wish we stop making a big deal of soccer commitments. Let acknowledge the kids who were so good they were offered a full athletic scholarship. I know thats very rare but thats a true accomplishment. You dont see AAU BASKETBALL teams  announce PLAYER X will be a walk on at UMD or Duke. Plenty walk on and get money outside of athletic scholarships but we dont make a huge deal out of it. The truth is most soccer kids from big clubs would be attending the college on their parents dime with or without soccer. I know its a different landscape but it magnifies how soccer is mostly for the rich white kid in our country. Its like a mode up recognition or participation trophy.[/quote]

A college commitment is a participation trophy? You’re a clown. [/quote]
