[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Coach Nadir recruits constantly from his teams at Herndon and MSI-at least 2 of the newbies on 06 team this year are from him. Would expect even more next year and 06 will be as good as 05 or 07 team.[/quote]

How is that recruiting? If you are being trained by someone who also coaches at McLean and you are playing at a high enough level that ECNL is an option, why wouldn't you go to McLean. That is different than a coach reaching out to players with whom they have no affiliation and inviting them to a tryout. [/quote]

What is the definition of recruiting exactly?  I don't think too many clubs or coaches (any at all?) outside of DC United actually reach out uninvited to kids or parents on other teams and try to persuade them to join their team.  In my experience it always works the other way around.  The kids reach out to and/or try out for the team/coach they want to play for, or their current coach recommends them to another team/club - and this is what initiates the recruitment process.  In my view recruitment is what happens after that, and I don't see that there's anything wrong with this process at all.[/quote]

My DD received unsolicited reach-outs from a few different travel coaches at high-level teams fall of her U15 season. I think they were trying to solidify their rosters going into the years where competition counts more. They had all seen her play, and they definitely contacted us — we didn’t contact them.
