You don't have to believe me, but you'll know for sure in about a month. NEFC still won't be the most expensive club (hello SSS and GPS), at least in some regions, but it will be up there.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThe price of each age group rises every year. Unless you're going from U14 to U15, and cutting your season in half, you're going to pay more. How much more is the question. Given what we paid for 2015-2016, moving up in age, and the fact that NEFC has costs they need to account for in 2016-2017 that didn't exist previously, I guarantee you will see an increase of 25-30%.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI think some of you are a bit delusional about your kids aspirations and direction. Probably 2% of kids MAY end up playing D1 soccer in college. If you have an average kid who loves playing soccer then go for the most cost effective as long as they are improving and having fun. Nothing wrong with that. No need to flush money down the toilet when it really doesn't matter in the long run.
(Not trying to be negative, just want to have a more accurate sense of the odds. My D is a very good player (but not the best) on a very good, but not top top U-12 club team. I am not counting on a scholarship, but...who knows. To watch her play in college would be great. Right now, that is her dream, but things can change.)

Top club experience will help for exposure, but if your kid is at that level by U13 or U14 these teams will find her either through her league, ODP, or local tryouts. It is a relatively small community.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostTough to say where she might end up at U12. But to contribute and play on a D1 team she has to play at an All State, Globe All Scholastic, level. Even those accolades don't guarantee a top local squad like Harvard, Providence or UConn, but these are an indicator.

Sorry to see the helpful thread die out to drivel. With tryouts upon us, let's post the real numbers so folks have an idea beforehand.
Does anyone know about Abby Villa and Liverpool? FC Boston?
Thanks.
