[quote=Anonymous]Colleges (especially D3) have walk-on opportunities, but they pretty much are looking for kids that are just blindingly good. If your kid is trying to weigh pros and cons and is just burned out and wants a year off, then it’s much easier for boys to find a home later (but you will be fighting with internationals taking slots). The biggest difficulty with taking a year off is game speed. The reason that college coaches pick MLSNext and ECNL kids is simply that they know the player can handle the increased speed/pressure. There are lots of kids playing pickup on the weekend that look like they should be starting in Ligiue 1, but the moment they step onto a field where EVERYONE is that good and the pressure is on, they can’t step it up. You need to settle in to the idea that HS is probably the end of his (non-Sunday league) journey, and that’s totally ok! [/quote]
