[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe she doesn’t want to play in college.

My kid was a pretty elite athlete in a different sport and never intended to play in college. Who would want that life for their kid?[/quote]

+1.   Stay away from these deluxe youth leagues if you don't like the idea of college sports.   The culture is that you pursue college sports regardless of the quality of the academics available.    Unless you think having your students 
 college search and journey focused on soccer or some other sport, avoid these types of leagues.  The environment had a huge unintended influence on my kid who ended up giving way too much weight to soccer programs over academic programs.[/quote]
What area were you in when this happened, PP?  All the families I know who are playing ECNL or similar are focused on using soccer to help with the kid’s admission to an academically elite college. It’s all about the admissions boost. [/quote]

McLean and Bethesda people think this way. [/quote]

That is good to know.  Is the club and coach on board with that and helps the kids trying to make a good a academic match?   My DCs coach acted clueless that she was turning down a meh academic D1 for a very strong academic D3 with weaker soccer program.[/quote]

In general (but not exclusive) affluent  parents are more concerned with the prestige of the school than scholarship money. For obvious reasons. My opinion[/quote]

Look the parents around the DMV only care about playing in college and not the prestige of the college/university. [/quote]
