OOF....given the sheer number of boys playing soccer in the DMV those lists are incredibly underwhelming.  [/quote]

I meet so many delusional parents.  I keep my mouth shut, but the false belief some of them have and have been sold.  When my neighbor's son made a DA team in middle school (with a very large roster) he told us this meant he would get a USMNT spot.  Others talk about positioning themselves for college scholarships thinking they will be getting one from Duke or UCLA, etc.

At some point around the Fall of Senior year they wake up.  If they are lucky, they will see it around Freshmen year and the kid will branch out and be able to take up some other activities at school while pulling back on the soccer travel ,etc.[/quote]

Completely agree.  I can't explain the level of delusion I hear from parents every year.  It's insane, but people believe some crazy stuff out there so who knows.  My son plays on an ECNL team and I had a new parent last year tell me that he came to ECNL because he heard that nationally 80% of kids playing ECNL get "full rides" to D1 schools.  I realized he wasn't the kind of person that was worth educating or talking to so just said, "Oh really, I didn't hear that, but it sounds like a lot of kids." This is the same guy who has instagram pages for 3 kids (2 are under 10) so they can start "getting exposure".  People like that are one of the many reasons youth soccer in this country is so annoying.[/quote]

Our kids' Club was announcing commitments to Community Colleges.  Is that a thing ?????   Do they even have teams that play in D2 or D3?  I was not impressed at all with any of their commits over the past 5 years my boys were with the Club. Not a single college I would want my kids to attend, to play soccer or not, with award $$ or not.[/quote]
