[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That DeAnza force video is fun to watch.  Where are those girls playing now?  Is there a list of where they committed?  It must have been really fun for their community to watch them grow from little players into, I'm assuming, college stars (and some on the WNT?).[/quote]

Love the sarcasm....  if you're the parent of a U12 player thinking about college commitments and the WNT for your daughter right now, it's time for a reality check.  And I say this as a parent of a daughter playing for a club with multiple players currently on YNT's at multiple age groups.  Reading these posts, it seems that most of the focus is on a particular U12 team and how many games they win.  Games won at U12 will mean nothing when they are 15, 16, 17...  and it certainly won't determine which kids play at a higher level.  Don't pick a club based on wins and losses.  Pick a club based on their development philosophy and, more importantly, the coach that will be training your kid.  [/quote]

No sarcasm intended, and no reality check needed.  The video just made me feel nostalgic.  My oldest child's youth career is almost done.  He and a lot of the kids he grew up with will be playing in college next year (and a couple of them have been on YNTs at multiple age groups).   My soccer friends (now some of my closest friends) and I have been reminiscing and sending each other videos from when the kids were little.  We are looking forward to following their college games, but it's not the same as being able to watch all the games in person and catch up with the other families.  I imagine the families of those girls went through something similar, and I hope a few of them ended up playing together in college.[/quote]
