[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe over the past three or four years, McLean sent over 60 kids to DI programs. At least one starter from three of the four final four teams in the 2021 Spring NCAA College Cup was a McLean kid five of the final eight. My guess is that parents and players see McLean as the best pathway to play college soccer. [/quote]

How many of those kids were developed at other clubs (i.e. U14 or below) before joining McLean?[/quote]

most clubs have decent structure and training.  the kids that go D1 and get athletic money are better athletes and good players.  this argument of which club developed which players is not something you can really pin down.  not to mention the really good ones do so much work on their own.  all of the clubs in the area have success with getting kids recruited.  some more than others.  the real issue is we as parents all pay 3K and once the pecking order of the kids is established parents get crazy when their kid drops in the order and usually go after the coach/club. if the point is to develop the kid...be realistic how much they can develop...do it...an be happy with whatever the level is...don't run around as parents trashing on everyone if it isn't the level you wanted.
