[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are about 40-50 girls from this area who commit to D1’s each year. That number isn’t going to change no matter how those players are spread across clubs. This year VDA has managed to recruit the bulk of those players. Some years it’s more spread out. But for those players it has little to do with the club they play for, even though parents think it does. Those same players could be at any number of other clubs and land the same D1’s. Because they are the best 40-50 soccer players in the area. [/quote]

My experience tells me differently. My kid played for several ECNL clubs during her youth career. We moved during HS but in her senior year she decided to return to a former club because the program and style of play was a better fit for her preparation for college. As a matter of fact, there were several players each year who left clubs where they grew up playing soccer for this club in their senior year because the club  had a reputation for preparing girls for the next level. I can also tell you that college coaches know which clubs and coaches best prepare kids and they will recruit those players from those clubs.

So I disagree wirh the above poster — Clubs and coaches matter. It is not a coincidence that VDA has a roster stacked with DI commits.
