[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That young lady is an exceptional athlete and one of the best basketball players in America. With that being said, nobody is getting recruited through high school soccer. Please stop with that.[/quote]

Sorry but you don't score 40 goals against competition that includes ECNL defenders unless you have skill and understand tactics. Fortunately, college soccer coaches are not as myopic in their analysis as parents on this board. There is no way she will not get contacted by top college coaches.

I know folks want to believe that their paying thousands of dollars buys them exclusive entry to DI soccer but that just is not reality.  [/quote]

Instead you can pay 10’s of thousands of dollars to Sidwell for that same exposure. [/quote]

LOL, that's right.  All you fools paying $5000/year for club soccer are so misguided.  Just have your DD pay HS instead and save your money.  Look at this kid who goes to Sidwell Friends for example (where tuition is $40,000 per year).  Too funny.

Also, she's 5'11", and fast.  40 goals in the DC High School league is not hard to believe.  Doesn't make her D1 material, and she didn't "beat out" the YNT player (from Bethesda), b/c as others have said, the Gatorade "Player of the Year" award is not really a best player of the year award.  Putting aside the fact that it is also based on academic achievement and "character" (community service), you really think Gatorade is sending scouts to high school games all over the country to evaluate players?  LOL they must be deeply undercover, hiding in the bushes and stuff.

Do all the coaches in the league vote on who the best player is every year?  That would mean something.

Regardless, the affect on college placement of the decision whether to play both club and hs, or just club, can be debated.  The idea that playing only HS - and not club - is a realistic path to playing in college, is simply laughable.

Unless of course you're a 5'11" freshman with good speed who scores lots of goals against very weak competition.  In that case sure, you might get some goober college coach to take a chance that they can "train up" the raw athlete into a real soccer player.  Good luck with that.
