[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD wants to play at the highest collegiate level that she can while also pursuing desired degree. Not sure if that’s D1,2,3 etc..[b]Are your club coaches/directors helping you all with realistic expectations. [/b][/quote]

Good question. Playing in college really didn't start to solidify for my DD until she was in 9th grade and it started to seem realistic.  And then sophomore year became really all about making that happen.  The club was pretty good about helping with realistic expectations.  Before her sophomore year season (U16), the coach asked her to put together a list of schools she was interested in attending and group them into 3 categories.  I can play there, it's a stretch and it's a dream school.  They went through it together and it helped guide her as she started to put together her plans.  The list changed as the year evolved and more information was gathered.

The coach and director were also helpful in answering questions and giving feedback.  The coach would pass along what he was hearing from college coaches in the sense of, College of ABC reached out and asked about you.  I would expect to hear from them on June 15.  The director was a good sounding board because of their experience - they seemed to know everyone in the college coaching community. Better information and feedback was received if they were asked specific questions and they were willing to answer them.

Overall, while it was a lot of time and effort and did create some stressful times, my DD ended up at a good spot and is looking forward to her last year of club soccer next year and getting to college.  [/quote]
