I realize the girls DA thing is still fairly new, but curious if folks are seeing anything to suggest that college coaches pay more attention to certain clubs within DA. Or, are most of the DA clubs viewed as similar and therefore attention is primarily focused on the individual player, regardless of the DA club.

Stated another way...if Jane Soccer is playing for Club Powerhouse in DA will she get more college looks/offers there, compared to if she plays for Club MiddleOfThePack in DA?
 
has everything to do with who your coach is and what relationship he or she has with colleges and the reputation of the coaches judgement.
 
Agree.
It depends if her club has the college connections and what her coach does to make it happen for her.
Along with her work to get scene
 
Who are the coaches at various clubs with the connections that have been proven to be respected and helpful?
 
All Blues, Slammers club and coaches for sure, definitely geared to college recruiting.
Other good options would be
Legends and Beach
Probably most clubs will help you if requested.

Agree with this list. Don't agree with the last statement. Some clubs/coaches don't have the connections or same level of reputation. Also, sometimes coaches don't seem to be invested to make the true effort or believe in a player to support the player in the process

This is 100% true. When people talk about the importance of the badge, 90% of that is the coach wearing that badge.

Having said that, you need to be on the same page as your coach in terms of what level your child can/should play, in order to make that relationship effective. And your child (not you) needs to be heavily invested in communicating with coaches (via email, phone calls, at camps, etc.). Do not expect the coach to drive the process, your child needs to take the wheel, and a great coach will be the navigator and agent.
 
So you guys think Galaxy Academy has not pull as far as College recruiting? national team pooling? compared to slammers, beach, blues and legends?

Just look at the recruits to the top D1 schools and the national team call ups and where they come from - not coming from Galaxay Academy

Look at the young 05, 04 call up for the CONCACAF U15 Championship.

They won the gold! All playing DA and 1 already committed to a D1 college.

Beach, Real, OC Surf, SD Surf,

There was a LA Galaxy player on that roster as well.

Indeed there was. She was on US Soccer radar before coming over from Slammers.

Lots of Galaxy players on the new ‘05 YNT ID Center list. Future is bright for Galaxy.
