This will probably devolve into another TS !@#$ show, but I'll try.
Daughter is in 8th grade, and she announced that she'd like to play in college. She's playing on a top team at her club. I'm wondering what clubs do to help kids find the right fit in college if they want to play beyond high school and help them achieve that.
I'll ask my club what they do and I'm sure they'll tell me how awesome they are at this college thing, but was curious what others have actually experienced or are experiencing today. What does the club do at different age groups? I'm aware of the showcase tournaments that many attend, but what else? Do they help match kids to colleges based on skill and work ethic? Do they contact college coaches on behalf of kids? I don't know what to expect, because I've never been through it.
And just to cut some things off now, I'm not expecting or counting on any scholarship to any school at any level. I've done well enough to afford to send my kids to college, and so have most of the people here. If she gets one, great. Second, school and course of study is more important that soccer. Once she decides what she wants to go to school for, that's going to guide her school selection much more than soccer fit.
So what does your club do? Or what did they do for you?
