[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looked at Arlington insta for girls, it does appear that they are heavy on academic schools for soccer. Not sure if the coaches have a pipeline or if it's just the aggressive NoVA moms, but it looks like it is a real thing.[/quote]

A lot of Arlington girls also go to very fancy private schools (Sidwell, Potomac, Hilton-Arms, etc). I think it’s the counselors at the private schools that are more connected than the Arlington coaches getting them into Ivies and top D3s. [/quote]

And you would be wrong - the fancy private school helps them get through the pre-read, but if they don't have a coach filing the pre-read request, then their HS counselor has no ability to get them on a soccer team.

And sure, you can argue that the coach might be more comfortable putting in the pre-read request for a kid who went to a fancy private school, but given the push by most of those schools to up their geographic diversity, it's less than you might think.[/quote]
