[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This trend makes those families who focused on athleticism as a way to stand out, look increasingly savvy.[/quote] Only if you are being recruited, which is a very small subset of kids playing sports. Remember that the top schools are drawing nationally/internationally and are only recruiting for approximately 1/4 of the team size each year since there are returning players. So your DC needs to be one of the 5-6 best soccer players they are seeing that year, or the equivalent. It's certainly possible but when you look at the rosters at the Ivy schools there are only a handful coming from this area at any given time. If your kid is All-Met POY then maybe he's got a shot, although many of those kids go for scholarships instead. If he's honorable mention then DIII is more likely. [/quote]
