Wow. Typical lol. Very toxic. In the end, there is not really a “best friend” thing . It is a hypocrite society. You probably just mirrored the DMV people in an anonymous forum. Thumbs up

Can some of you share what you did to get here? Has anyone non-ECNL been able to do this successfully? Ny dd is currently on ecrl but may move up once we switch to school year.

Everyone should keep their details close hold because the team dynamics can quickly change due to envy and hurt feelings.

Power 4 means SEC/BIG 10/ACC/BIG 12. At most, 2/3 of the top 50 soccer schools are members of those conferences.

Power 4 doesn’t necessarily mean the teams are all good, but that these are the conferences with the most sports program money because their football/basketball teams bring in the most.

Not trying to troll but why not share with teammates/parents?

When colleges talk with players they will ask about your club teammates if they are also on their interest board. The teammate could give negative feedback to help their own cause. Player doesn’t always work hard, is selfish, struggles with grades, always injured, etc. This stuff goes on.

If the kid has received 6 calls and been offered 2 visits to set up already for August. You probably don’t have to worry about what teammates or others are doing? No need to worry about tipping off others if day 1 was so good? No?

There are international players all over college soccer. This isn’t the start of anything. What ann ignorant comment.


I disagree, it’s a valid point. Internationals in women’s college soccer is not yet as prevalent as in men’s soccer but will be soon.

Except that being a powerful school doesn’t mean you’re good.
