Now some Toxic stuff from the coaching side. Buyer beware of the coach who thinks he's the pathway to the DM at college. Very dangerous and not good for 8th graders or soon to be 9th graders. God forbid your dd tells one of them your not so sure you want to go to college. With the new rules your job just got a lot less important in regards to being the "middle man" to set up the phone calls. Focus on teaching them to be better people and better players, students and so on. That takes time and patience and most 14 year old girls need some time IMHO
I would love to see the day that an actual college coach calls your dd in 11th grade and invites her for a visit. Maybe take 3 visits like all the guys do. This is a big investment and commitment for both parties. A club coach should help you be the best player you can be, period, end of story. Then the player can decide how best to go after soccer after HS. According to the DA the club coach is training you to be a world cup player or pro, no HS or college. In fact, if your Elite, Elite, Elite, you need not go to school. We will pay YOU and YOU only some $$$$. All the rest can go to college and fight it out at Stanford or UCLA. Your reward is a very nice degree
