[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a cousin in Europe who has an 05 girl who is apparently a real standout. They are asking me to figure out a way to bring her here so she can train in the US. I won't go into the reasons behind the idea... just asking for thoughts on how feasible this is.

I think the family thinks that she'll be playing in high school or that everything will be easy and local. They asked me about "scholarships." I assume that high school scholarships are irrelevant to the discussion, that she would have to make a DA or ECNL team. I live in NOVA and I assume she'd be competing all over.

I have boys, not girls, and my kids are a little younger so I really don't know what kind of commitment this is. Am I right that there is no way for this to happen without an adult becoming her full-time chauffeur?? Needless to say, I have no interest.

I am sure the Division college teams are full of foreign players. Did those kids attend high school in the US??  Any advice?? TIA.

Unless your cousin is a dual citizen and the idea is to aim at USWNT, I wouldn't even think of it.

Better and cheaper universities over there, especially for EU nationals, better soccer overall, fewer hyperpolitized distractions.

Agree.  Op's story is so crazy for the reasons you point out that I almost think it's a troll post promoting women's US soccer.[/quote]
