It that YJ-MA 2025s coached by Hoeg? If so, that's a really impressive set of commitments for a team ranked 111 last year. Why are the recruiting results so much better than for Pride Black, ranked 54, for example?

Yep Hoeg

Good kids good parents and good recruiting director plays a good part of what is going on with YJS right now. 26’s are on a good path also.

That's great; in all sincerity. Good for girls lax in the area to have a third good club for HS and have success like that.

Hoping not to derail the focus too much, I would love to hear any thoughts how the list of 2025 commitments would match up to expectations when these girls were in middle school. Was development through these years generally linear, where the "top" players in middle school remained so through high school (to this point)? Or was physical development such a wild card during these years that it significantly changed things? If I could take this great list of commitments back to your younger selves, would you be surprised, or would it be pretty much what you would have expected? Sincerely, this is not a troll post. Just curious.

My DD is now playing for a top 10 D1 program and I’ve been reflecting a bit on her development over the years. Hand eye coordination and quickness were her main assets early. She always played up in rec. However, it was the middle school years when things got serious.

She knew she wanted to play in college and was determined to do well in various tryouts, like UA All American, AU Futures, USA Lax NDTP etc., and she started spending more and more time practicing at home, doing wall ball, the Manchester United test etc.

The player has to love the sport enough to be self-motivated. Being on a club with close friends also makes it fun and reduces the possibility of burnout. Some parents kill the joy by moving from club to club.

Another big jump typically occurs summer and fall of freshman year in H.S., as players really want to make varsity when tryouts come around. In most cases it boils down to desire and work ethic. As a parent, you can see if the determination is there to put in the work necessary.

In high school, my DD and some of her teammates would get up at 5:00 and go work out before school. So that is the kind of commitment it takes.

I don’t think so. A cap o goalie is likely to commit this week- she is really great.

Have goalies from Pride or YJMA committed yet?

CAP Blue to Colorado

I would also add that parent behavior and reputation can hurt their DD. Coaches watch, listen and talk. It can definitely have an impact.
