[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes travel soccer is more important than HS soccer for D1 college. Club teams play in tournaments over the summers where many college coaches attend to scout out potential recruits. For boys, the new hot travel league is the pre academy and academy. Many D1 ncsl teams in U13 left to go to this league.[/quote]

Can you post a link?

Does an entire team enter the academy, or are their individual tryouts?[/quote]

There are individual tryouts.  They are generally in May/June as it is a year long program, but I know some kids who have gotten developmental spots later in the year.  There are 3 academy/pre academy programs in this area (DC United, McLean and Potomac) with one team at each age group (U-14, U-15, U15-16 and U17-18).  So that is a total of 60 boys across the whole metro area in each age group playing academy.  It is VERY selective and you try out every year - no guarantee of keeping your spot at all.  No NCSL teams go to academy but some of the D1 teams lose their best players to the academy and as a result have ended up folding or combining with other teams.  [/quote]
