[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]College recruiting relationships, style of play, commute time rules above all though[/quote]

I looked at McLean’s, NVA’s and Arlington’s websites for college commitments (also looked at FVU, but none listed there).  McLean’s list is longest and most impressive IMO from an academic quality perspective.  NVA’s is short, maybe that’s a reflection of when the “alliance” began.  Arlington’s in the middle, but stops in 2023.

Do these three clubs have differing reputations on recruiting?  My kid says she wants to play in college (it’s early days), but academics will be the first priority in picking a school.  Does that perspective align better with one of these clubs?  [/quote]

Not if you kid is U12 currently IMO. My kid is U16 and many of her teammates that said they wanted to be the next Morgan / Rapinoe or play in college have already dropped out of soccer or dropped down a level. Those that still playing ECNL - half maybe looking to play in college. [/quote]

Not sure what you are saying as it is not really in English.  But on last point 95% plus of girls in ECNL are looking to play in college[/quote]

Hmm, my ECNL daughter doesn't want to play in college.  She's tired of the grind.  She understands what working at a high profile, not enjoyable job is like.  She said she knows the platform can help her get into a good college.  She says there's no way she has any desire to play college soccer.  She's using ECNL as a high level youth activity to "get into college", not "to play in college".[/quote]

Way to take minutes from kids who actually want to play soccer in college. Typical Loudoun entilement parenting here. [/quote]

I think if the kids want to and are good enough to play ECNL and the family can afford it, whether or not they want to play in college is irrelevant. Everyone journey is different. No one is taking a way anyone playing time. IF your kids aren't getting minutes, focus on how to get better.[/quote]
