Don‘t buy the BS. All of these parents have spent more money paying to play for MVLA ( or any other similar ECNL club) than they will receive in a college soccer scholarship. You should keep this list—several are already in the transfer portal and many ride the bench at these big name schools. Lots of good threads on this. Do your homework.

Half of these school don't even give Athletic scholarships.Yeah, I am moving to MVLA Club given their recruiting reputation and proven pipeline of school placement. I was able to verify from their MVLA school announcement via Facebook (www.facebook.com/mvlasoccerclub), and below are their 2024 ECNL graduation class with 23 rosters. This means even their bench players are getting offers to these top schools. Crazy! If your player is good enough to make their ECNL or even ECRL teams, MVLA is the sure thing after spending all that academy fees$ for many years to come.

Also these students first have to academically compete with the general admission pool with 4.5 GPAs and 10 AP courses before they can even then be considered a recruit.
Then they have to find $70k a year to pay their own way because their are no scholarships.
Their academic profile is more important than any soccer skills they have to be admitted.
Something to consider before spending 20 hours a week in soccer and ignoring academics.

This is very true. But at least MVLA and BA Surf offer players and their families a genuine opportunity to pursue this path with clearly knowing the mentioned implications.
Sadly, many other clubs fall short, offering little to no chance of being scouted despite the considerable time, effort, and financial investment. You all are aware of these usual suspects in ECNL and GA leagues.
