[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]About the same number of girls from the DMV will commit D1 every year. It's because they are good at soccer, contacted coaches with film ahead of showcases, followed up. It's not because of the club uniform they wear. The number of  DMV commits doesn't fluctuate because players change teams. It's the same players on different teams. Y'all are so focused on the wrong things.[/quote]

What should we be focused on since team success and club affiliation don’t matter? Do you really think all clubs and club coaches are viewed the same by college coaches?

Not all “D1” programs are the same either. Cleveland State and Virhinia Tech are both “D1” but different programs.[/quote]
Focus on where your DD will get significant playing time on any team that will play in enough college showcases. Any ECNL or GA team will do this. It does your kid no good to be affiliated with a coach or club if they aren't seeing enough of the field. You want DD to be among the top 1/3 of whatever team she is on. These are the players who receive the most attention from the club coach, get to participate in talent IDs nominated by the club, etc. Focus on how she gets along with the coach and the rest of the team.

What if DD is top 1/3? Am I then allowed to worry about team success and club affiliation?[/quote]
You should worry about her staying in the top 1/3 and staying healthy. Of course you are free to worry about wins and name of the club. But the other stuff is more important.[/quote]
