[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]to the OP, we are a couple years from USGDA, but I can tell you already that we have no interest in ECNL, with its cost and travel, just to be able to play soccer in HS, or because a college scout may attend.  if DD is an elite player in 2 years and wants to commit to that future, then it will be trying out for the team that all the best girls (at her club, and nearby clubs) are interested in. From premature conversations, that looks like it would be DA from other parents with 1st team girls, but we will have to wait and c.  If DD is that great, then colleges will still take notice of the DA plat and she can sacrifice HS ball as some choice to pursue her highest level and ability.  If not elite and just a good 1st team player in 2 years, then a non-ECNL travel team sounds better to us and then she could enjoy HS ball and no worry about college soccer.  That is the divide. Doing ECNL as some costly middle ground with the players that don't make DA sounds like a real bad idea.  glad we have two years.[/quote]

Playing college soccer is a great experience and opportunity, not sure why give up on that just because not DA. [/quote]

Is it really? I've wondered about that. Looks like it might be a lot of fun at a big soccer school in the ACC or on the West Coast. But I really don't understand the push to play college at any cost. That's a lot of time taken away from school and other extracurriculars, and athletes are often not the best people to hang out with.[/quote]
