That girl is pretty good , not the best ever but congrats.

The problem with this selection process are the lazy youth scouts , you have programs run by a highly regarded DOC - he “recommends” a player and 99% of the time she will be called to NT camp - once there , then it’s the way it should be - of the 50-60 only the 20 best at each position will make the actual team.

It’s been going on forever , that’s why the men’s team stinks , they need to actually invest in scouting and not recommendations

I will give you that for the very first camp or two at u14 or u15 (depending on the cycle) the coaches rely heavily on recommendations from programs and coaches they trust and have delivered NT caliber players to US Soccer before. If the players show up at camp and are not at the required level...you won't see them called back in.

That's why this first 05 camp has 59 players. That's a huge camp. It's an opportunity to be seen. It's just a starting point for the age group's player pool.

After that first camp or two...the scouts have seen the age group much more, evaluated players at games and start to dial in on payers they want and are playing at the level they want. Camps get smaller. Then rosters are selected.

Coaches or DOCs that are recommending players to camps that don't deserve to be there will stop being asked for their opinion.

Bullsh1t.

That’s what losers suggest because they didn’t make it.

US Scouts never speak one word to parents.

So naive you are the mom is very friendly with Mary Francis

the younger NT camps are littered with players who will be one-and-dones. What matters is that they get regular callups from 16 and older. There's older players who get selected that weren't even in the system when they were younger
