[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This has been helpful, for sure.

For those of you with experience here, are your kids playing on their HS teams or on travel programs?  For either, do your coaches or the clubs help make connections or are you literally trying to seek all this out proactively?  Imagine a bit of both, but curious what (if any) level of support you get from HS coaches or travel club support.

Final question, if your children are being sought out, tell me in your honest opinion, were your children the top 5-10% on the team, or do us parents of highly above average but no the 4 best on the team have a shot at D1?[/quote]
I'm the previous who posted the tips about the emails and youtube videos. My kids plays on an ECNL team, not located in the Mid-Atlantic region. She played HS as a Freshman, and had a lot of fun doing it, but decided this year to skip HS soccer and train year-round with her club. She is not top 5-10% on her club team. She is a part-time starter, but her team has been one of the top teams in the country in that age group for years, so they get a lot of looks from college scouts.

Our club and coach offer advice on recruiting, but don't proactively make connections for us. We, as a family, had to do just about all of the heavy lifting(emails, camps, videos, etc.) ourselves. The best thing we did was go to as many school specific ID camps as we could. Although she was only a part time starter on her team, she was able to stand out at the camps she attended. More than half of the schools that contacted her in the past two days were schools where she attended their camps.[/quote]
