[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On the girls side, CCL1 teams regularly win VYSA state cup championships.

After you factor out the 3 GAL and 4 ECNL teams (which is only 7 teams, really), it's the next level after that.

Many of these kids who play in CCL1 still go on to play in college - it's not "elite elite" but still a pretty good level of play.[/quote]

Many?  Probably not more than 1%. Seriously. This is ridiculous.  People need to get their head around how few travel soccer players play collegiate soccer. It is a very small number. And most of those players are coming from leagues other than CCL, EDP, NPL or VPL. [/quote]

5.6% of HS boy soccer players go on to play in college
7.2% of HS girl soccer players go on to play in college

Where’d you get this data?

And yes, as a CCL and former NPL coach I agree the former is a farmers league compared to the latté[/quote]

Data is from NCAA. If people are concerned about scholarships, you have to look a D1 and D2 only. Those numbers are 2.8% for boys and 4.3% for girls. The statement that almost ‘none’ are getting scholarships is inaccurate. Most of the D1 and D2 players have some form of scholarship ( kind of need to have something to sign an NLI),  but few have full scholarships. Coming back to the discussion about girls, CCL1 players may end up playing soccer at some colleges but it will be increasingly rare. With the 7 VA teams and another 5 or so MD teams competing in GA and ECNL, college coaches are not likely going to spend much time looking at CCL. It will be good for keeping HS kids playing in the off season, but kids who want to play in college should look at one of the 12 teams above. There will still be exceptions with the 21 and 22 recruiting classes, but by the time the 23s and 24s get into active recruiting CCL won’t be on college coach radars.[/quote]

You are wrong.  I said that few CCL players are getting scholarships, not that travel soccer players generally are not getting scholarships.  That is undeniable.  Most scholarships are going to players outside the CCL.  3 out of 62 VA players were on teams that would be CCL today.  Arlington, Loudoun, BRYC, McLean and VDA are all outside CCL, and they, along with DCU, accounted for the overwhelming number of 2020 boys commits from this area. [/quote]
