I understand ID camps will be necessary in the future but was hoping that would be after narrowing down the list to those schools where coach shows interest but getting interest when those coaches aren’t at your events is the problem. I know more coaches are at ecnl events so there’s more of a chance to be seen but was wondering if coaches even bother with bottom of league teams. Don’t want to make the move yet as I think it will hurt development (the ecln team is isn’t helping with that at all as evidenced by their poor level of play). Will try videos with follow up first. Also like suggestion of coach reaching out but I again maybe after the list is narrowed, wouldn’t expect him to call all 15 at this point. Thanks all who responded.

Narrowing list to 15 schools helps, but as is often said on TS, targeting is most important.
“Down South” includes ACC, SEC, and many, many others. Are you looking for money or just looking to play? Where are her academic quals? All of this matters in how you package her up.

Looking for money as no money probably means the school is not that interested so not much playing time. Straight A honors at a prep school so it looks like she would be able to get in even without soccer to most of the schools, with maybe a boost from soccer for a few.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIn the same situation as you. D wants to play in the south. We targeted FL schools at first and are branching out a little. It's hard when every camp or event near them is a plane ride and multi night hotel stay. ECNL on a bad team is better than National League on a good team if you want to be seen by a lot of schools. Still though, you need to go to ID camps. We are frustrated, but still hopeful.
There often on these types of threads are the suggestion of having your club coach gauge interest. If your kid is a real stud who will be a great find, for a school in the South or otherwise, the club coach ought to be able to tell a college coach "hey, for real, you want this girl."
