[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bullis, Landon and St Albans have a decent track record of sending players to play at the college level.

But I agree, Academy soccer is killing high school soccer.  And the inability to play for one's high school team robs the kids of a wonderful high school experience.[/quote]

So, for example if you look at the varsity soccer roster for Georgetown, you will see a freshman listed who graduated from St. Albans. But he never played varsity soccer for St. Albans, he played for the Bethesda academy team.[/quote]

About 80-90 % of the girls on my DD's  club team are skipping HS school soccer altogether. [/quote]

Will those 80-90 % end up getting recruited by colleges?[/quote]

About 10% of all high school age girls playing soccer will play in college. Most of those will not be on scholarship. Fencing is your best bet 38% go on to play in college. [/quote]

Those stats are beside the point when you are talking about high school age kids who have continued to play soccer at a high level.  I'd imagine that close to 100% of the players who are serious enough to skip high school for club, or whose team coach or league rules require them to skip high school, will play in college if they choose to.[/quote]
