[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do the area private school teams regularly produce kids who get recruited to play at the college level?  If so, which private schools have good track records for doing this?[/quote]

It is the local soccer clubs (Arlington, Loudon, BRYC, Bethesda, etc). that produce kids that get recruited by colleges.   The very best soccer players attending private high schools -- those who receive the most recruitment from colleges -- don't even play HS soccer because DA clubs forbid it and ECNL clubs discourage it.

If anything, playing for your HS negatively affects your chances of college recruitment because HS soccer is lower caliber of training and play than the better local clubs.  In addition, the risk of serious injury increases dramatically by playing for both club and HS simultaneously.

If you want your kid recruited for college soccer find the right club (not HS).  You will never see a college coach at a high soccer game.    By contrast there were 350 colleges scouting at the Disney Showcase in Orlando last winter.
