[quote=Anonymous][quote=RantingSoccerDad]A bit of data here on which clubs send the most kids to Top 25 schools: https://www.soccerwire.com/resources/which-youth-clubs-had-the-most-2020-commitments-to-ncaa-mens-best-25-programs/ [/quote]

Thanks. I still do not understand the point about tracking this information unless you assume (1) club affiliation makes an extraordinary difference in recruiting (a great talent at dcu would not be recruited if he played at Arlington or VDA), (2) academies who send a number of kids to pros are inferior (because those kids are going pro instead of going to college - you should probably include pros in these numbers to get a better sense of who is producing the most elite soccer talent ), (3) really talented kids can and do move between youth clubs and areas (if not, why does national vs local tracking matter?), and (4) the results are similar year over year. Otherwise we might be drawing pretty ridiculous inferences from a very small data set with no longitudinal dimension.

It was pretty much as I expected for this area. Dcu and bethesda will place people in top soccer programs because really good players tend to go there in the first place. Other clubs are totally irrelevant because we would not move to play there. but in any given year, you may see a club like Celtic put 10 players or so in D1, some in very good programs.
