How many PWSI/vda players are on the VDA U19 team?[/quote]

Maybe around 5. Not exactly sure…. but that’s not the point.

I’m pointing out the lie of “homegrown” talent and “coaches getting you recruited”

US soccer is a pyramid. The base is full of kids. As one moves up, the space gets compressed and kids don’t make the cut, get replaced, quit or try to make another team. All of this while going through puberty and physically developing.

If your kids makes it to the top, they become the pool for college coaches.

Keep in mind, as the compression happens, players move about.

The coaches are more so picking talent vs developing talent.

Remember, development and recruiting is on you.

That’s why you pay to have your kid in ECNL. The game is the developer. The speed of play, the level of athletic prowess and physicality of the opponents will force one to adapt or be replaced.

I know some 08/09 parents don’t understand this yet because the real compression hasn’t happen for you. But it will….every year going forward.

One final note. I’ve noticed some younger parents on here saying “U18/19” are aged out teams that don’t care. Nothing can be further from the truth.

Take a good look at them next time. They are the kids that made it. 3/4 of the kids they started with them didn’t.
