[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Majority of these kids are committing to a college and will be on the soccer roster but have less of a scholarship than the kid next door going to the same college on an academic scholarship [/quote]

Not in the team being discussed.[/quote]

In general, because soccer scholarships are limited and small

Most of the starters wouldn't be D1 power 4 quality and won't make it.  Especially with new roster limits.  Expect most to fall by wayside within first year.

VDA and Richmond 2009 are the teams being discussed. Most of those players received significant scholarships.[/quote]

Yep.  That's the case.  Tennessee for example, announced that they are fully funding their women's soccer program, so 28 full scholarships.  There's I believe multiple RU and VDA players committed there.

Those saying that an academic scholarship is just a likely is probably not accurate. [/quote]
Parents need to be realistic about who is getting these scholarships at schools like Tennessee and how your own DD measures up to them. To begin with your player needs to be a starter on a ECNL or GA team, and not just any team but one of the top 2 or 3 teams in their age group in the DMV area, and not just a starter but a standout starter who is having a significant impact on games. Each game should full of highlightable moments that you can collect and send to coaches. Any spectator could watch 20 minutes of a game and say yeah that player is good. If you aren't sure if your DD measures up to this level then I'm sorry but she probably doesn't. You would know if she was that good. Every player at Tennessee was one of these standout impact club players.[/quote]

Tennessee rolls their roster over every year and brings in 6, 7, 8 transfers and dumps the girls they don't want.  Been doing it for years.[/quote][/quote]
