[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So then I ask you, why do boys continue to play, knowing that college opportunities are limited (Club soccer is a real step down for the high end players), pro opportunities in the US are even more limited, and opportunities overseas are even more limited.

They don’t realize it until Jr/Sr year of HS.  I have warned so many soccer parents about this, but they have zero clue and think I’m FOS.  [/quote]

Now it makes sense why we never succeed at the international level on the men’s side.The limited opportunities make players go on a different path like tennis, BB, AF, BV, Hockey, track or stop playing. [/quote]

A lot of XC and LAX too.

But I think this is part of the problem. College sports are uniquely American and part of the system, like it or not.

Yes you can identify the top, generational talent at young ages (Tyler Adams, Christian Pulisec, that Sullivan kid) but what about the kids whose parents say “nah, my kid’s gonna play Lax because there aren’t enough opportunities in soccer.”

Club soccer is a wonderful thing, but it should be in addition to, not instead of D1 men’s soccer.

Looking at you University of Florida, Georgia, Arizona, Texas etc!

What are the Lax opportunities?[/quote]

Less LAX players, this area is a hotbed of talent.  There are at least some D1 programs around.[/quote]
