A scrimmage against the best opponent any college team will face all season. Should be a fun game to watch. Also look forward to seeing you on the 15th of September. Not quite the view of last year's soirée and the parking is a few bucks but if you get to the area early their are more options for adult beverages and uber can drop you off right next to the stadium.
 
How about this weekend's WPSL matches? Beach's roster is a YNT who's who! MAP, is your player healthy? NG, did your player find a WPSL home? Bernie, is your kid playing this weekend?

My player is sitting out the next 6-8 weeks to rest her injury. I heard that your player was injured too. I hope that she is healing well. She has a good chance to do big things this year. Good luck to her.

No, she's not injured. She be ready to play this weekend :cool:

6-8 weeks...just in time for when things *really* start getting good! I wouldn't be surprised if she's better sooner with all the rehab resources she will have back at school :)

I dont know if she's playing or not.
A tree fell on her car, and she hasnt made it to practice all week.
Im trying to help her get things squared away, but she doesnt have a ride to LB as it stands.
We're trying to figure something out.

Good news. She's healthy.
 
We are always reading the international women are catching up to the US Womens team or has passed them. If we are doing many things wrong, why do international YNT players keep committing to play D1 womens soccer?

This Brazillian U15/17 committed to ASU for this coming fall season. We know about Jessie Fleming, Canadian YNT players at West Virginia, FSU with their European international recruits, Colorado signed a New Zealand YNT player for this fall, etc.

 
On a side note, as much as SoCal is a hotbed for girls soccer, SoCal softball is even a hotter bed. The final between Oklahoma and Florida has 14 Cali girls (almost all from SoCal), 7 from Florida, 4-Ok, 3-Tx, & 3-Ga. Even in years without a California team, the college World Series (8 teams) usually has triple the number of girls from California than any other state.

You know the answer. It's the best life option and the only realistic soccer option for women (except Pugh).

When my DD was on her official visit last October. At the football game, I was talking to a parent from SoCal. Her DD was there for her unoffical visit. I asked what sport she said, softball. I then asked, what grade....8th grade! She told me Power 5 schools start recruiting softball players at 8th grade and it's not uncommon to see 8th graders committing either.
 
Just under 7 weeks until training camps start. I'm enjoying the free time but I can't wait. I'm hearing a lot of noise about a few programs. 'SC might be preseason #1 if the NSCAA holds to it's past precedent but I am hearing 3 names come up. Stanford, UCLA and Florida State are names that keep popping up as the bettors favorites. Also heard was North Carolina and Duke. The big darkhorse is looking to be Notre Dame.

I can't wait for August.

All that they are starting is summer informal workouts. Many schools will be starting those as most of the freshmen in the conference report in two weeks for summer school. I am not sure if this is the case on the Farm but it is most elsewhere in that conference.
 
Just out of curiosity as my dd is a few years away from all this, but I heard it's becoming (or has been?) common for girls to be asked to graduate early and start playing/training in the spring prior to what would have been their freshman year. Is this true? What happens if the girl decides she wants to finish out her senior year?

I don't think its mandatory (due to NCAA rules). My daughter passed on summer school/informal workouts because of her schedule...and her coaching staff was fine with it as long as she shows up to training camp fit.

18 of our 22 players have committed to schools like Arizona, Cal-Berkeley, Northwestern, ASU, Texas Tech, TCU and others, and I know of only 1 that is going to go that route. Most have stayed in high school and completed their senior year.

Come on bud you've been in the game way too long. We all know the only No.1 ranking is the one that comes out after the season is over! Wink!
