[quote=Anonymous]I can't speak for the MD public schools, but in VA many of the public schools are small. In Loudoun County the high schools may have 1400-1700 students, so it becomes a numbers game. Just not enough kids playing. Add to the equation that soccer is also a Spring sport and the group of potential players gets even smaller. At least on the girls side many VA public schools struggle to field JV teams let alone competitive varsity teams. Individually you will find players who are very strong with solid D1 offers. However, collectively as a team the players are simply divided among too many public schools to put a consistent product on the field year-in and year-out. Private schools are not limited by school boundaries and can basically recruit from the entire area; thus, can put a more competitive and consistent product on the field. I'm not positive about this, but I believe the public schools in VA are limited by the VHSL in terms of how many off-season practices or workouts they can hold. I don't think the private schools have these same limitations.[/quote]
