[quote=Anonymous]Everyone understands some kids are so grossly unathletic they can’t play college soccer at any level at all, but here’s what was actually said:

“Here's what I have to say about all your ECNL dreams for your kid. Harsh reality is by U12 most can already make an assessment on whether your kid will be good enough for D1. This is not only from technical standpoint but from a Soccer IQ standpoint. If you watch your kid and your kid is losing the ball 50% of the time, can't beat players 1v1, can't dribble or looks to get rid of the ball quickly it's pretty much a wrap for your D1 hopes for your kid. Record your kid's stats whenever they touch the ball and you'll be shocked.“

The grossly unathletic kids will not make ECNL teams at u13, and if they continue to be unathletic then they won’t at older ages either.

The initial comment was more about separating kids at a D1 level from those who aren’t at the age of 11.  That’s why people responded they way they did.

I’m glad we’ve backed off that to a more reasonable view. [/quote]
