No mine is going to the BJ's in Carlsbad and running into the YNT technical director there and having a conversation with her. She was at Surf looking at her players there and scouting for additional ones. Or running into Jill Ellis at another restaurant. The great part about Oceanside (or Del Mar) is that you aren't in the middle of nowhere and having to eat at the field. I can honestly say I haven't eaten food purchased at the field other than snow cones since U13 national Cup quarterfinals.

You seem obsessed with food and eating, with your size, maybe you should stay out of restaurants.

Simple, if your older DD is playing D1 college soccer. Seeing 2-4 D1 college coaches at U14 is NOT a lot of coaches and you wouldn't be posting with so much excitement.

Actually it is since we have not contacted any schools yet. Wait until next year when we begin the "process"! :)

No dog in this fight but my DD's an 04 (u13) and is in 6th grade. If she has 2 or 3 D1 coaches watching her play next year (at u14) I'd be pretty pumped!

Just my 2 cents.....carry on with the ping pong match!

Question is do you also have a DD playing D1 college soccer and have tone through through the recruiting process already? I understand a first time newbie parent getting excited through.

Personally having already gone through the process. I wouldn't be getting all jazzed, if only 2-4 D1 college coaches watched a U14 game. Knowing....at U15 there will 50-70 college coaches evaluating a top team.

I think your still a year off. Remember with the shift to Birth Year the "uXX" designation changed. U14 now is only 13.

College coaches don't care about teams. They are evaluating individual players, not teams.

Ah, but you fail to realize even your DDs Legends G99 didn't have this going for them, except maybe 4 or so players. A brand name club such as Blues or Surf with rosters loaded with individual players who have individual accolades consisting of Cal-South state team, ODP Region IV team, ID2, national ID2, and/or YNT players ALL emailing college coaches at the same time to come watch them play. It creates a perfect storm for those teams and end up repping over 70 college coaches during a U15 ECNL group playoff game. Eventually, leading both teams to have well over 10 committed Pac12 players for the class 2017.

This is why I posted years ago, college coaches recruit individual players and NOT teams.

That depends on where a player stood in last years Aug 1-July 31 age bracket cut-off.

This year it's:
1998/1999 = U19/18 = 90% HS Seniors
2000 = U17 = 90% HS Juniors
2001 = U16 = 90% HS Sophomores
2002 = U15 = 90% HS Freshmens
2003 = U14 = 90% 8th graders
2004 = U13= 90% 7th graders

I am not a year off, because my U18 DD 4 years ago was a U14 8th grader. A players HS Freshmen U15 and Sophomores U16 years are the biggest college recruiting years.

So your saying someone shouldn't be excited that D1 coaches are watching 8th graders? That was my point. Last year u14 would have been HS Freshman.

Last year half would have been 8th graders and half freshmen. My player that graduated last year having played U18 was a senior. Her U15 year was her freshman year and at U14 showcases they would usually have 6-10 coaches on average at ECNL showcase games. Two is not a lot but it is better than none.

IMO, if a parent already has an older DD playing D1 soccer and have already been through the process. Why get so excited knowing the heavy recruiting begins at U15 and U16?

Then again if this is a parents 1st time experiencing the recruitment process. I expect a parent to be excited seeing ANY college coach watching their kid.

Both you and MAP are DB's because you are not here to give real advice, just to brag and chastise. A parent has pretty much zero control over which showcase his/her kid's team/club go to. There is zero doubt that many D1 coaches were at Norco and many (perhaps more) were at Surf. What's next, that the college teams represented by the coaches are Surf perform better than the college teams represented at Norco?

Also - the obsessive and repetitive reminders about your own DD's. Freaking gag me. Enough already. We know.. both of your daughters are gods gift to soccer and we are blessed to have you in our midst.

'contact schools and coaches' and 'play in well-attended showcases' - that is not advice at this stage. It is just trite.

So maybe you have zero control over which showcase your player attends or which team she/he plays for but then again it's dumbasses like you that subsidize the exceptional players anyway. If you don't want to read what I post then don't numb nuts. I really don't care. I definitely don't mind spitting fire at you and it wouldn't surprise me if your player plays for a certain second rate club. Cheers scrub.

You see, that's what I'm talking about. Rather than argue substance, your first instinct is to degrade my daughter and her club. (of course knowing nothing about either)

What have you added except bragging and mocking?

The subsidy comment is stupid, but no one should be surprised.

So be honest, your oldest daughter is 11 going 12, there is 1 college coach watching her game. You're not excited? Second/younger daughter is 11/12 and ther is 2 college coaches watching and your not stoked?

Bull shit!

Rookie...Vet...sorry, if you're not stoked that anyone beyond the parents and coaches that have to be there, are watching your DD play. You and I are different people. That's cool too!
