[quote=Anonymous]To be fair - VAE is a college recruiting factory, and in my experience, they are quite open about that. They focus on technique so their kids have the best chance to actually play from the start at college - a lot of their players play as freshman at college, because they are better technically than their peers (who just play and play in practice, and spend two years getting their technical flaws corrected at college). They play in open so their players get as much exposure to college coaches as possible, as Open is where the most interest is. They have some good age groups (mostly the 17s and 18s), but most of those players haven’t come through from 13s/14s - and by then most of their players on the college track. If your kid wants to play at college, it’s a good option, but be aware, colleges are heightist  - a midsized player needs to be unbelievably talented to even play D3. Our DD played there, as well as a couple other clubs mentioned, and went on to successfully play at college - but she’s tall and athletic. They worked for us but it’s an expensive option at the younger age groups, particularly if your daughter is midsized. You have to understand the landscape and what the merits are of all the different clubs and marry that up with what your kid wants to do/is capable of.[/quote]
