[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I totally agree with the poster having been through this process multiple times. But the one caveat I will add is that there are a small number of Very good players every year that fall through the cracks and don’t end up in a college program or the at right level of a program. I would guess that more of these kids are from smaller or less well known clubs. Similarly there are some players from bigger clubs that get spots at college programs above their abilities and don’t end up being successful at that next level.[/quote]

+1. People say if your player is good, it won't matter what club or league they play in, but it's not universally true. In today's environment where there are so many options, it happens quite often that good players ... players that are good enough to play college, just don't get the opportunities to be seen. The selection process for college soccer is about 2 parts skill, 1 part luck/exposure, with a smattering of boosts from connections, history, and a number of other fortunate or unfortunate circumstances. The way things are now, 98% of most coaches needs can be met at ECNL and/or GA showcases so that's where they go.[/quote]

See the post about game film now. Still a tough road but more doable now than in the past. [/quote]
