[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It appears as though the only girls getting recruited so far are players from teams that win National events.  If you are on a winning team, you get offers.  If not, well no offers so far.  Players on the lower end of spectrum on a winning team are beating players at the higher end of talent spectrum on losing teams.  There are a couple of exceptions, but generally it’s what’s happening.[/quote]

The two dirty secrets. The first is 99% of colleges do not care about how many wins their soccer team has. This is reflected in recruiting and operating budgets. Second anyone in ECNL or GA can play college soccer if they have the desire. There are so many programs that need bodies and NCAA soccer is a straight continuation of travel soccer. I have seen girls go to lesser known schools to play college soccer over a well known school. If you only care about playing in college and not the school it is very likely you will play in college.

44,046 women play college soccer across NCAA, NAIA, and NJCAA levels. They estimate 23k freshman women play soccer(or on a team roster). As you can see there is a large drop rate after the first year.[/quote]
