[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In soccer the top programs with mostly be international players.

If you really want to play and you are not a top player you need to find a team at your level.

It is not true that most of the top programs have a majority of international players, and most coaches are consistent on this from year to year so you can look at the rosters over a several year span to set your expectations. The Marshall coach only seems to recruit over-age international players, for example, but this is not true of the Georgetown coach.

The nice thing about looking for in-state programs is that coaches will have an easier opportunity to see your kid, so you should cast a wide net within VA.  Does ECNL RL mean a second tier ECNL team? If so, that’s going to be a heavy lift for a school like JMU. Is there a possibility for him to play for an MLSNext or ECNL team? It’s much easier to market yourself as a starter from a top team if you want to play D1. Good grades are helpful in recruiting, but legacy status is meaningless to coaches (though helpful for general admissions purposes if he doesn’t get re recruited but wants to attend anyway).
