[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]

Depends what you mean by academics.

And what you mean by playing in college.

McLean and Bethesda traditionally placed most into Ivies. McLean (FVU) has recently been sending folks to top D3s from ECNL teams (not a bad option if just want to "play"). Ivies and D3s offer no money but they will help you get in if you are a good student and a good athlete.[/quote]
Please stop crediting the clubs for these results! FVU and BSC don’t have some magic dust or connections to Ivies. It’s simply that more kids who live in Bethesda and McLean (the zip codes not the soccer clubs) go to Ivies for reasons having nothing to do with soccer. So of course the soccer teams these kids play on also have more just like McLean and Bethesda high schools send more kids to Ivies than high schools elsewhere.[/quote]
