[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She is a child. Let her decide where she wants to play and enjoy the beautiful game. There are plenty of good teams that are not in ECNL. My daughter was in the same situation and was offered ECNL spots from u15 up to u19. She decided to stay for the team, team culture, friendships, etc. Best decision she ever made. Shoot, her team beat a few same age ECNL teams in showcases and scrimmages along the way. If your DD wants to play college soccer, she does not have to be in ECNL. It is more important that she recruits the schools she wants (assuming she has the talent) vs. relying on ECNL to be the end all (which it is not - you still have to recruit the school even at ECNL). My daughter is in her final year of club soccer and turned down 5 D1 schools across Virginia (including athletic/merit combo $$$ offers at many of them) to play at a D3 school where she felt a better fit with coaches, team culture, the school itself, etc. More importantly a better school for the career she is chasing and her major which is way more important than playing soccer in college. Do not get hung up on ECNL. Let your daughter decide what she wants to do and support her.  [/quote]

I'm calling boshie on this post. Whoever this poster was obviously had DD playing when DA was in effect as well. Not a single mention of that or GA. Your DD had five D1 Soccer offers in the state of VA alone and didn't play in a letter league??? I see no mention of State Cup Champions or USYS or High School? No mention of ID camps? No mention of ODP? No mention of Wash Post All-Met? No mention of multiple sports?

What we have here is an over-zealous parent with a D3 (which is absolutely fine!) agenda against Letter Clubs. I have never heard of a modern day player, boys or girls with D1 offers in there own state without any accolades. Would absolutely love to know more about this even more rare animal than a Unicorn.
