[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are two ECNL players on Sidwell's team and I am not sure you could tell them from the rest, which is one of the points. The game in the video is against a DC Charter School and not against one of the other league schools which have ECNL players peppered throughout.

No one is arguing that local HS soccer is on the same level of ECNL/DA or elite club soccer. The argument is that the freshman's performance stands out even among the ECNL players in the league and that performance is enough to get the attention of college coaches.

Has anyone heard of any ECNL player dominating on the same level as the freshman did in 2018. You can argue that she will not improve just playing HS and I will not disagree but the 2018 performance is enough to get the attention of scouts. If the ECNL training and plays is so great then you would have ECNL players dominating on the same level as the freshman [/quote]

There were stronger "soccer" players on her own team in the video.  She is simply not a soccer player.  She is an exceptional athlete playing soccer.  Maybe, MAYBE, if she focused on soccer (which would mean playing travel outside of HS) for a high level team she would develop into a great soccer player.  MAYBE.  There is no division 1 coach that would watch that video and think that she is ready to play D1 soccer.  You could take the track team put them out there and the fastest sprinters may be able to score 10+ goals a season against that level of competition.[/quote]
