Exactly. I learned this many years ago from friends who are college coaches.^^^^THIS.
They are not starting their recruiting at the HS games. They have seen the players before in club and are just following up at a HS game or two.
You guys are classic. Sell it bro.....lol!!! Figure out a way so the kids can do both. If your son or dd is the next Freddy or Mia, then for Pets sakes, go all in soccer soccer soccer soccer, 4 days a week until and never set foot on a high school soccer field because it's so bad and horrible. Ya, I know it's really bad for business too....lol! My dd has not finished a club season now for three years straight. I bet you still think it's all her fault too. High School has been all she can do and I think just maybe, she might be able to go play at the next level without needing club middleman to help her. We shall seeExactly.

Yes and no - depends what school you are inExcept with much less talent. 1 ECNL game consists of 15-20 college players (D1-NAIA). 1 high school game? 2-3 if you're lucky. Also, coaches want to see the good players play against good competition.
Even if you have 10 college players on the field in HS, is that enough to judge a top player against that kind of competition?Yes and no - depends what school you are in

What is wrong with you? I have no idea what your talking about. But, it certainly seems you once again are interjecting your own mislead ideas and confusing them with what was stated. That post has to do with recruitment and nothing to do with you ever. IYou guys are classic. Sell it bro.....lol!!! Figure out a way so the kids can do both.

The question is the competition.Check out J Serra HS girls team
Nothing wrong with me. Just correcting the record. If you can play soccer, you dont need to play club to get a deal. You can play HS only and get a deal. I know three players playing D1 next year that did not play club.What is wrong with you? I have no idea what your talking about.

It is possible to play college soccer without playing club. Christina Burkenroad from Mission Bay HS went on to play D1 on the recommendation of her HS coach. It is not common, but college coaches will take talent anywhere they can find it. ID camps can be a way to get noticed by a coach.You guys are classic. Sell it bro.....lol!!!

Yes sir it is. My dd has only played 11 league games in three years and with the looks of things, this is the end of her club career. You know how I feel about the last three years of socal club. I have one word: Divisive!!! What year is dd in college bro?It is possible to play college soccer without playing club.

Thank you, thank you. I was at the Great Park tonight and there were a great number of people everywhere. Yes, the mask were on. Play ball and let's get the kids playing soccer. We want ECNL to reverse course and let the kids play Houston![]()

Maybe some unicorns?I was there to but didn't see any turtles.
My niece played in the cif championship game and semifinals last few years. There were so many D1 players on both teams it was vey impressive. Regular high school games are probably not a good indicator of quality games. CIF games in the final rounds is a different story.The question is the competition.
Good to hear about ID camps. My DD is on a pretty solid NPL team, I just don't ever see her moving to ECNL but she'd love to play in college. We'd never push her to go ECNL as she really loves her team and coach, and we feel that's important.It is possible to play college soccer without playing club.

What if the club teams just have "under-cover scrimmages" during the high school season? Seems to work out these past few months.
No club logo. Coach hiding under a tree in a hoodie and sunglasses.

When she was younger, she played club. During her high school years the family had economic problems. She was living in a car for part of high school. She is a great athlete.So where did she train the other 9 months of the year?
