[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that club ranking and wins/losses have less to do with a clubs ability to attract coaches to sidelines than the previous recruiting does.  Most of these clubs send multiple players each year to the same schools and have lots of alumns and history.  Of course that is also a reason why they attract top players at tryouts and yes this does lead to winning.  If a low level club wins a bunch of games v other clubs of equal talent they still will not attract coaches on the sidelines v a reputable club that was 1-2 in the last tournament.  Again it is not the team record bringing the coaches but the reputation.  [/quote]
This is incorrect.  The college coaches know exactly where the best girls at each age group are, or better said, the best girls that fit their school.   Campbell University isn't going to camp out at every M&D Black vs Yellow Jackets game for the entirety.  They're going to go to the games that have girls that fit their program.

Wins and Losses don't matter that much, but rankings do.  You can lose every game by one goal to all top 10 teams and be a top 15 team in the rankings.   That team will and it's players will get a LOT of attention by top programs.

There are small club programs out there, that for whatever reason have one great year, and all of the others are comparatively weak, and the year that has the great results will get heavily recruited.   Top clubs have a little bit of influence, but they don't try to sell a weak graduating year as great or they'll lose the trust of college coaches.

You can definitely get recruited from a weak team, it's just harder because you aren't seen nearly as much.   You'll need to rely more on film, prospect camps or other showcases because you aren't going to get seen at most tournaments.  [/quote]
