[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chloe Ricketts starts and should be credited with a goal[/quote]

Glad she is on the field and playing well now. [/quote]

Choe Ricketts contract was not renewed by the Washington Spirit.  Sad to see how she was advised by parents and adults around her.  Her options going forward are limited and she is 18.[/quote]

Why are her options limited? What's preventing her from signing with another team or going international? Your view seems limited. [/quote]
The obvious thing limiting her options is that the Spirit didn’t think she was good enough to offer her a contract. That’s after watching her up close for years. International is a possibility or maybe the other local pro team DC Power. Is college still an option or did she become ineligible when she signed a pro contract.[/quote]

She can go to college. She can't play for a college soccer team. [/quote]
I’ll bet her parents are wishing they just kept her in school. Could have gone to a top college with a nice soccer scholarship. [/quote]
Like many soccer parents they were told and believed she was better than she actually was. But my daughter is different.[/quote]

This player is still on the Spirit roster, practicing and did play, score a goal in that match against the Central American club ... Yes, she's not starting/second string but she clearly got game for a young player. We should wish her well wherever she lands next.[/quote]

Ricketts traded to Houston for the rest of the year and then goes to Boston to try and play for a new NWSL team next year.[/quote]

Still in NWSL. Seems like probably still better than college -- with money in her pocket and with experience far ahead of all her peers.[/quote]
