[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't find a copy of the Madison roster but I believe they had 3 D1 commits and 2 D3 commits.  Of the 3 D1 commits, only one is going to a good soccer program (a very good soccer program).  Of the D3 commits, one of them might have gone to a good D1 program but she went for academics.  So, saying "many" are high-level players who have signed for D1 schools is another RSD exaggeration.  Also, most of the players on that squad do not play for high level travel teams, just the few on the McLean 01 team and the VYS 99 team.

What these facts show is that it doesn't take much talent for a HS team to be successful.  You just need three or four talented field players and a somewhat competent goalie, and you can prettily easily win your district and have a solid chance to qualify for the state playoffs.

But make no mistake, it is not high level soccer, nor can it be when the vast majority of the players on a team are not high level players, and don't have the time to develop as a team.[/quote]

If you are a female soccer player, volleyball player basketball player etc and you decide to go to a school and not take advantage of the academics you are making a huge mistake.  You have to pick a school base don academics, most of your top schools are really good in women's sports for this reason.

What is next after college?  99.9% of them don't play at a higher level.  [/quote]

+1000.

A male player can live on the MLS salary. But the average salary of NWSL is very low. I believe the ceiling of a female player (non USWNT player) is less than $38k per year. That’s not much to live on and it requires year round training, etc.

Hence, I completely agree that it’s best that a female soccer player should pick a school based upon academics. [/quote]

How many player make the MLS every year? Not many.[/quote]
