[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We currently have a teammate whose older sister elected to do just this last year in soccer.  At U15, she made an ECNL team (top level).  But after looking at the further ramp up in intensity in training and competition and the demands that come with it, she decided to stick with her current mid-level team.  Her dad said it was the best decision she has made and it has freed up time for other interests in high school now.  She is U16 now and still feels like it was the right decision for her. [/quote]

Also, stepping down in soccer significantly reduces the likelihood of playing D1.  So, it depends on the sport too.  She is not 100% she'll play in college after stepping down, so this is not exactly the same situation you are in. [/quote]

Thanks. DD has been to a number of D1 camps but is now thinking D3 because she has heard it is easier to prioritize academics in D3. What she does not realize is the facilities and resources are not going to be as good in D3. I think in general she has realized she has made her whole life her sport and is suddenly feeling like she needs balance.  [/quote]
