Boys:

1 in 5,355 high school players will be drafted to the MLS

1 in 447 college players will be drafted in the MLS

Girls:

1 in 10,316 high school players will be drafted to the NWSL

1 in 986 college players will be drafted in the NWSL

If you focus on school instead of soccer, you would be able to calculate those odds as being significantly lower than 1 in 100.[/quote]

What do those stats have to do with anything? There are no high school players in the DA, and a significant majority of MLS players never went to college. It would be very interesting to know what percentage of US kids DA kids go on to various levels of a pro career from HS (the total number of pros is increasing steeply each of the last few years).  It would also be interesting to have stats on the post-college career prospects for DA players who go to college. It seems that the DA is it’s own kind of network given how kids get to know each other by playing the same teams in league play and meeting new kids at the showcases. [/quote]
