[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the thinking? 
I don't get it. 
Can someone explain the thinking?
Do kids beyond the top 11 get recruited to college?

05 technically has upwards of 40 on the roster... There are 2 teams wearing the VA Union name on the girls side at some age groups - one ECNL, one "composite".  The composite team at 05, for example, will play EDP, NL PRO, and tournaments, but still trains with the ECNL girls -- so they aren't actually just "watching their teammates play".

And why? I'll answer for my family... maybe some of the toxic responders will get it and knock it off. For us, Mclean is conveniently located, which is a big deal for larger families.  Composite gives my kiddo the opportunity to play in bigger tournaments, enjoy some of the travel experience, train with quality players, and have "room to grow" while still not keeping us out of traffic for an hour + in the evenings.  For recruiting, yes, kids beyond the top 11 get recruited to college, they might just have to do a little more legwork.  They may not go to Power 5 schools, but if "playing in college" is all your kid wants, Mclean's composite teams are still a great option.  [/quote]
