[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are we getting to caught up in DA/ECNL? I agree that either league offers a player to practice with against other elite players on a regular basis, great coaching and exposure to top schools and national team scouts. But are you going to tell me that colleges will not recruit a superstar player who only plays HS? That sounds absurd. What if the player is focused on football, lacrosse, basketball or track but plays for the HS team and stands out? Are you telling me that a coach at Stanfor, UMD or other stop program will not know about that player? I heard that there is a Freshman female player at a DC private school who won Gatorade Player of the Year. Are coaches never going to contact her?

I agree that the marginal player will benefit from participation in the DA/ECNL but coaches will always find the superstar.[/quote]

If you think a player can only play HS soccer today and be a superstar, you might as well play the powerball.  Not only is there little to no development in HS from coaches that know very little about training, the surrounding players are not going to provide a challenge for that player to allow that player to get to a superstar level.  It would be like finding a unicorn.[/quote]

That is exactly what we are telling you. Nobody is getting recruited through high school soccer. [/quote]

You guys have to be complete morons.

All I have to say is that a non-ECNL player who does not play club soccer won DC Gatorade Player of the Year in DC, beating out ECNL players in DC private school leagues including one player heading to Harvard and last years DC player of the Year who is also on the Youth National team.

You idiots are going to tell me that UNC, Duke or Stanford are not going to reach out to such a player? Get real!

Then whar does it say that a freshman at Sidwell can outscore and outplay the 30+ ECNL players [/quote]
