[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Beach, Richmond (and arguably Skyline) players were also not invited to the NC session, so there is a chance that US Soccer did drop a ball on this one.  At minimum, if a ECNL (or GA) club does not respond, one would think US Soccer would... follow up.[/quote]

Why did all of the other northern Virginia clubs figure it out? Even Alexandria did.[/quote]

Alexandria has 3 from 2012 but none from 2011 which makes sense. Maybe the clubs did submit the recommendations and either US Soccer didn’t take them for whatever reason.

It’s possible that clubs got busy during the pre-season and missed the email or deadline. No point arguing though - we will have to wait and see if they add anyone to 9/17 or they set up another session in the region next month (however unlikely this is) or these kids will have another opportunity for the Jan/ Feb session one [/quote]

The fact other clubs did not recommend tells me it is a non event or free soccer camp at best.  At least the ones who posted now showed their groups of “untouchables” so others in the supporting cast role can plan accordingly. DMV club soccer in the works 👏👏😃[/quote]

lol, we call it Peacocking. We’re happy for the girls who the club nominated of course, but now the amount of coaching attention the girls are receiving is becoming even more disproportionate to the other players, yes my DD included.  I don’t know how all teams deal with trying to keep a lid on favoritism, but on our team both the picked girls and the ‘pre-chosen 2013s & 2014s’ receive guest invites, extra training and extra coaching and counseling the other players don’t receive.  And yes, kids do feel like they are supposed to play a ‘supporting role’ when clubs handle the attention poorly.[/quote]

So get your DD the extra training she needs to be better than those girls. It’s really that simple. Work harder, be undeniably better and your DD will get her opportunities. Plenty of girls don’t get the first ID invite as that is 100% club. The second one is more indicative of actual game talent and comes from scouts. Have your DD be that girl. [/quote]in a perfect world putting the n the hard work should bring returns however this is the DMV…

Coach has to play your Kid to get time to be seen by scouts. Coaches know when to play them and when to play the kids they want commitments for… messy game is messy.[/quote]

Talent surpasses everything else and coaches want to win. If your daughter is truly talented she will play. But honestly ask yourself if your daughter breathes soccer because that’s often what separates the elite from the average. [/quote]

+10000000. Sometimes I dont think people realize what these girls are doing behind the scenes to get selected. [/quote]
