[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems like mostly good advice for college soccer. Thx for posting. We aren’t targeting D1 and are happy with our ECNL RL team, which has great D2-D3 placements. [/quote]

Thats awesome!  If you aren't targeting D1 then some of this will not apply.  I think its awesome for these kids to play at any level after high school.  Absolutely nothing wrong with ECNL RL.  Awesome!  Good luck[/quote]

Thank you for the info. My daughter is also 5’ 9” center D, but only in 7th grade. So who knows where she will wind up.

Greatly appreciate the timeline you provided for all the pieces that landed your DD where she is. Hope she had an amazing experience!! [/quote]

She has had a blast though the entire experience.  Of course there was some ups and downs, small injuries (ankles, sprained knee), disappointments (not making an all league team).

5'9 7th grader!! love it.  Our kids dont play basketball or volleyball but size helps.  But I have seen a ton of bigger girls who cant play and cant move.  Please follow my advice and work on speed and quickness especially for that size.  It will take her longer to get up to max speed versus smaller girls.  We actually had a few college coaches that told us that they were worried my DD could not defend smaller quicker girls.  There is a science to it. Use of the hands, anticipation.  I always told her to make sure the forwards can 'feel' you in the beginning of the game.  Set the tone![/quote]
