[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By my count, there's 8 girls that went to public school in the committed list.  Is there an advantage to getting recruited going to a private school?  [/quote]

A handful provide an advantage based on coaching, connections and quality of competition from athletic perspective.  From an academic perspective, if you believe that private school kids are better prepared for college, that can help as can the college counseling offered.  The real bump is that the average private school family has significantly more resources to bring to bear on "project get my kid into college" than the average public school kid (club fees, private lessons, travel to prospect days, recruiting consultants, etc.).  [/quote]

This may be true for other parts of the country but absolutely has no bearing in this area. Kids attending public schools have just as much in resources and access as privates. The major advantage is the speed of the games in private school top leagues (ISL AA, WCAC). Girls with experience playing against tougher competitions are better prepared for college level games. Sophomore varsity starters on these teams transition better to summer recruiting tournaments than their counterparts in less competitive high school leagues (public or private) [/quote]

This is correct. The level of play in ISL AA, WCAC is far superior than in public schools and the skill level of these players rise accordingly. This is true even if the players are not starters as they are working at an elite level everyday in practice.  Girls in public schools definitely get recruited, but the club is the only lever. ISL, WCAC have a distinct advantage.[/quote]
