[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s important to recognize how D1 college soccer is rapidly changing due to transfers and intl players. Generally, the guys who are getting on the field in D1 are trending well older than in years past, i.e. 21-24 year olds. There is very little demand for kids coming out of HS, and very little opportunity. For instance, Owen Walz played for DCU and, when he was a 17 year old, played in 9 matches for Loudoun United (USL Championship). USL Championship is well above D1 level, yet when he went to UVA, he played 34 total mins as a freshman (He transferred to San Diego and basically played every minute this year). 2 other locals are freshmen at UVA this year - one (from Bethesda/VDA) did not play, the other (from DCU) played 56 total mins. Point being, if D1 college soccer is the goal, realize that will very likely require years of sitting or some transferring.

Based on style of play, a smaller technically skilled good player may be benched on a kick & run physical tactics team[/quote]
