[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These haters are either Karens whose kids didn't make McLean or girls who didn't get invited back to tryouts and are lashing out.[/quote]

LOL. Why does the truth that mclean is no better than the other area ECNL and GA clubs hurt you so?   Truth sucks sometimes, but it is what it is. [/quote]

You either have mental issues that don't allow you to reason or think logically or you are emotionally disturbed and feel the need to harass people.

I think there is enough information in the above posts to confirm that McLean is probably the best club in the area at placing players at top college programs. FCV, Bethesda and MUFC have great track records as well but you are hard pressed to find a program that has 14 players that are playing for or will playing for 2019 NCAA qualifying teams.[/quote]

you are basing this on one year of effort. McLean typically commits to Ivy Leagues etc since they draw from very high income areas.  In general, they do commit a lot of girls to D1 teams that are far lower than most of the other clubs in the area.  [/quote]

If McLean players commit to Ivy Leagues while the other club players commit to academically doubtful soccer universities, I would definitely want my DD to go to McLean. I cannot understand why anyone would choose a university based on soccer.   [/quote]

I guess I’m confused about what we’re considering a top college program? For McLean, they are rich people who will pay full tuition at an ivy, but they need the soccer to get admitted. Ivy League soccer teams are not top college soccer teams. So if you are OK with a $300k bill for college, McLean may work for you. If you want better soccer, maybe some money and a variety of academic options, they may not be the best fit. As an aside, nobody should chose a university based on soccer alone, or academics alone, or reputation alone. I find it hard to believe that people would think kids are solely picking a school for soccer.[/quote]

Sorry but your logic makes zero sense. Of All the recruits from McLean, between 10-15% attend Ivy League schools or other programs with similar competitive admissions (MIT, Navy, etc.) and no one is playing at McLean to play get into an Ivy League program. Most of the girls who attend Ivies can play at a range of top soccer programs but want the balance between academics and soccer that the Ivies offer. Also, Dartmouth, Brown, Yale, Harvard and Princeton are all considered competitive soccer programs.

Most kids I know are not choosing schools based solely on soccer. They are picking schools that strike the right balance. And to be honest, you can't go wrong either way if you are going to UNC, Duke, UVA, WF, GU, UW, PSU or Navy to play women's soccer.[/quote]

:roll: Sure most kids are picking between UNC, Duke, UVA, WF, GU, UW, PSU or Navy to play women's soccer. Get real. There may be one girl who is picking between those programs and it is not the rest of the team. It is the one star player. Follow a college program for a few years. See how many freshmen are on the team. Look at desirable program with a big named school. These program pull from across the country and oversea. The women playing have very impressive soccer and academics resumes. [/quote]

Some of those are academically doubtful soccer schools [/quote]
