Anyway, this isn’t talking college education, it is talking soccer.
If she goes to Stanford and never plays and quits, was it a winning bet from a soccer perspective?
She will get the opportunity for a great education and if she is not paying for college, then a great free education. Clearly winning there. Hopefully she doesn’t mind being on the west coast, that is tough on some kids

I'm curious as to why she left OW as they're both GDA/GAL. It's not like NYSC is a great club either.

CFCU almost never has players playing up. OW does it all the time, sometimes deserving, more often not. She earned it and NYSC has her playing as well. Doesn't imply CFC did something "wrong". But the other poster is correct that USDA pushed NT players hard on moving to GDA. Most of them did move over.

She was literally averaging a hat trick in GDA two years ago. Goals don't mean everything, but scoring at that pace is beyond normal. That's a really good player and she must be a good student too if Stanford wants her. Good for her.

The NE GDA is pretty bad. She was a scoring phenom at OW less so at NYSC which OW probably fed her the ball all the time. http://skny.ussoccerda.com/sam/teams...ayer=884903847

CFC doesnt have kids playing up, but the best train with academy team which could be practicing and playing 3 years up.
The family are club hoppers. Did the same thing with their 6-8 son. They wear their welcome out quickly and if they don't get exactly what they want, then they are out. No loyalty whatsoever. Typical Southbury/Pomp family

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostReally CFC can’t let a NT player play up? Especially at that age. Makes no sense. Loss on CFC’s part for a dumb policy because they can’t possibly confront the crazy parents who kid doesn’t deserve to play up and tell them no. So they institute a blanket policy and disadvantage the kid that actually deserves it.

I hope she does well on the field and enjoys the experience because it will impact the rest.

Most of the discussion on TS marries soccer and education and very few of these girls will ever play professionally. They are not good enough and the money stinks anyway.
