[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t get parents who pay for ECNL or GA to either:

A) be on a team ranked lower than ~150 and travel all over the country just to get beat 7-0 by Sting

B) have your kid on end of bench playing 10-15 min a game.

Or Both

You can get a great coach and program in almost any metro area for half the fee and 25% of the travel.

If you are on a lower ranked team you are looking at a handful of D1 opportunities AT MOST per team. And if you are on the bench for anyone lower than probably top 50 you ain’t going D1 either.

Save the money and time and play with the top USYS team in your area![/quote]

Getting a D1 offer is not about how technically skilled and tactically intelligent a player is.  It’s all about physicality.  The “top” ECNL and MLSN teams are filled with physical players with very little technical skills and tactical acumen.  [b]These players are going nowhere in soccer.[/b]

Real soccer players should be aiming for Europe.[/quote]

There are loads of technical and tactically sound kids in ECNL / MLSN / GA.

But spot on about outcomes. College soccer is a terminal destination. On the men’s side it’s filled with Europe’s D league wash-outs. Your kids aren’t competing agains pro’s, they’re competing against Europe’s rejects.
