[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As I said, you're in way too much of a hurry. The odds are overwhelming that he's not going to play "at a high level." So it might behoove him to embrace other things about the sport, including the social aspect. Also, there's some value is learning humility and accepting that you have to pay your dues as a freshman on a school team. [/quote]

Unless of course you are related to someone or your parents are big donors.  lol[/quote]

He loves those odds, we’re not delusional about it. He has the height, physique, strength, endurance, game instinct, reaction time, natural leadership and heart to become to an exceptional Goalkeeper. [b]He has lots of work to do between here and there but that’s his dream. I’[/b]m honored to be along for the ride and will do everything I can as a parent to support him. No, we are not related and not a donor :) so he’ll have to make it based on merit or not at all. That’s the only way he would want it anyway is if he knew he earned it. [/quote]

[b]He's already in high school. If he's playing MLS next, he has a very very good chance of playing at some level in college. If he's playing ECNL, he has a good chance. At any other level, he has almost no chance.[/b] [/quote]

Most of the players on our high school soccer teams do not play in either league.  The kids that do usually phase out of HS soccer after Sophomore year because it becomes incompatible from a time and developmental standpoint.  My older one plays MLSnext and every college coach told him that HS soccer does not matter.  They won't come to HS games and the game tapes can't be from HS to be considered. They want to see game film from ECNL/MLSNext level games.  Right now, the kids on the bench are the ECNL and MLSNext starters ironically.  I just don't think it's compatible with HS soccer.[/quote]

That's the point. The kid should know what his chances are of playing in college based on his club team. Working hard to start in high school is meaningless. Working hard and imporving in general is meaningless if he doesn't play for a team that gets scouted . [/quote]
