[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's crazy that some parents think winning is not important 16+.... College coaches are not going to sit and watch a team that can't win a game. I would look at the amount of coaches that watch McLean and BRYC at 16-17-19 in Greer and Sanford and compare it to what shows up for Loudoun and VDA matches. There is absolutely no reason teams 16+ should not be going on the field to win games. If you are being told other wise run... fast. [/quote]

Absolutely true.  At that point, if a team is getting its ass handed to it game after game, either find another team to play or accept that your child should be playing in a lower division.  Players won't get recruited from teams that can't compete. [/quote]

OK --- then compare the commitments from the Richmond U-17 team (sub 500 win pct) and the BRYC U-17 (about 600 win pct) --- looks that Richmond team is  doing just fine in placing girls in  higher profile programs that the BRYC team.

BTW: If you think you're kid won't get recruited on a bad ECNL team because nobody watches them, how many coaches do you think come to CCL / NCSL  / etc games? And do you think the coaches will be excited about a worse player on a successful CCL / NCSL player.

That's like saying only players from FBS teams will get drafted into the NFL, and if you're not one of those teams, no NFL scout will see you.[/quote]

BRYC U-17 is basically a new team.  They only have 2 of their original players.  They may only have 4 committed to Division 1 schools, but there are several others talking to coaches.  AND most of that team is sophomores!  BRYC has a couple of 02s playing up that are committed!  So that places the U-17s I believe at 6 committed to Divsion 1 schools.  William and Mary, UConn, Naval Academy, Are the 3 I know of, can’t remember the other 3.

BRYC U17 team is almost the same team as least --- it's not new.[/quote]

Their coach told the 02s that they should focus on D-2 and D-3 schools because only his only 03 players were good enough for D-1.[/quote]

You have bad information. Players in their Junior year who have not yet committed were told to start applying to Mid Major D1 conference schools. This is good information for my daughter and her team mates as most of them including my own were still applying to UVA and UNC. Most of the power 5 schools are done with recruiting pretty early on so having the players expand  their search for the right academic fit is sound advice. If a top soccer school watches and likes a player they will reach out to our coach, this conversation was to ensure my child and her team mates get the most out of the upcoming showcases. [/quote]
