[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not find MLS/EA/ECNL/ECRL/GA/DPL etc teams?  They're 1 age group and train multiple times a week.  If your kid can't play on the top 2 teams at a club, I don't know if he/she can play at the college level?

That could be another question for a new topic.  If my kid doesn't play in a national letter league with showcases, can he/she get on a college level team?[/quote]

They can. For years DS was convinced he would never play college because he didn’t play MLS Next and ECNL. Now in HS, he knows of a few varsity players who went off to play D3 even though they didn’t play on MLS Next or ECNL. This gives him hope. [/quote]

You def don’t need MLSNext or ECNL to play college.  D1 sure but not really for D2 and below. [/quote]

Not even D1.  American soccer is so stupid with the 'soccer resume' BS.  Some clubs won't even let a kid come out to be seen if they aren't coming from some other mlsnext/ecnl team.  We laugh about that a lot.  My sibling played professional and we talk about how so many great players fall through the cracks because of the BS and shenanigans in this country.  They all miss late developers. There are truly some kids that don't really come into their own until closer to the end of HS and beyond.  I know-- I have a late developer who was plagued with growth related injuries from a late growth spurt Soph/Jr year.  He has had a lot of college interest this summer.[/quote]
