[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Balancing academics and DA in high school is a delicate and challenging balance, but can be a path to elite colleges.  This year's Bethesda U19 team commits include Stanford, Brown, Cornell, Georgetown, Air Force, and Colgate.  [/quote]

Yes, and last year's Bethesda U19 team includes kids who are now at Stanford, Dartmouth, Penn, Georgetown, Colgate, and a bunch of other great schools.  The club has several years worth of commitments to highly academic schools, and a number of the kids in DA were attending top area privates while playing DA.  A lot of PPs on this thread seem to know kids who have squandered their academic potential in order play their sport in college, but we know a whole lot more (inside and outside soccer) who have used their athletic talent to help them get into reach schools.

I also agree with a PP that years of balancing HS classes and a DA schedule makes for a relatively smooth transition to balancing college classes and sports.[/quote]
