[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting that you call out getting on an ECNL team + specifically call out not playing on a GA team.

That's kind of a wide statement. If you're kid plays on one of the top GA teams it's light years better than an average ECNL team.

It's also interesting that you say that your kid isn't specifically skilled but that she is aggressive, big, and fast. Do you think with college rosters going down to 28 that coaches will have to move to more skilled play? Or will they just keep focusing on the infinite subs game?[/quote]

I will retract my ECNL/GA statement.  There are just way more ECNL teams in the area so your odds on getting on one of those teams are better.  ECNL girls make up approximately 75% of D1 college teams.  The top GA teams are exceptional but there are not that many of them especially in the DMV.  
I think the new 28 rosters spots is school specific on what they deem as most important.  Having an athlete who can play multiple positions is important.  Aggressive, big and fast doesn't always work for some programs.  Some want highly skilled.  That's a hard question to answer.  A highly skilled team will beat a super athletic team most of the time.

Thank you + I agree with your accessment.

There's more high level ECNL clubs. But, don't be fooled into thinking that just playing on an ECNL team will open doors to college. With either ECNL or GA or whatever you need to be on a top team to get noticed by top colleges.

If you're kid is not playing on a top team they're not going to play in the games recruiters go to see.[/quote]
