She might be fast. If she is fast enough that is all you need. ECNL is at its highest level is just High School kids. If you are really fast you can make a ton of mistakes and recover. It’s like having a big eraser.

Dumbest statement of the day award.

And what does just high school kids mean? WTF do you expect them to be? Robots? I’m mean, at the end of the day, we’re all humans. So why do you get paid more than others? We’re all humans, so why is Tom Brady a great quarterback and I’m not? So forth and so on

No it make totally sense. In high school and lower you can be one dimensional(fast/great athlete) and just show up. I have seen it a many times especially with speed. Someone shows up and has speed(like 4.5 in the 40 speed boy or like 5.0 for a girl), they will make a place for them. Now at the next level(college or pros) the differential in athleticism decreases and it becomes about skill.

The tall, superfast kid with no skill? Good centerbacks sort kids like that out by U13.

Sure - but the good centerbacks aren't playing in high school since they are playing on teams which discourage or flat out forbid it.

There are plenty of high school teams (no - probably not the top ones) where the PP is absolutely correct - and a blazingly fast kid who really can't play will get on the team and even start.

Right....this dude thinks ECNL players are just HS players. He has no clue what he’s talking about.

Women on the USWNT are just women. So as long as you’re a fast women, your in.

I fully agree with that. My niece played rec every year from age 5 to 11 going into middle school. She was tall and athletic, but had little ball skill. She tried out for her middle school team and didn't make it. I felt so bad for her. She loved soccer, but wasn't in the right environment to really progress her skill. She went to volleyball which she still plays, but I know she wishes she still played soccer.

if she's 14 and starting soccer, she should play recreationally or maybe on a lower level travel team if she can acquire some skills over the summer.

DA went bye bye. ECNL is the flavor of the month. If she's 14 and just now interested in soccer then I hope she's fast, has stamina, and can accept the ball with her back to goal and turn.

Both are over priced nonsense. Get your dd to run cross country and track.
