      My kid emailed her choice school on the west coast, they asked for videos and time and field locations sine they are going to be there

      The way it works is they scout her then if they like what they see they go from there

      Lots of money in girls sports not necessarily going to foreign players

            Must be a Junior for the college coach to contact the player for the field location and times. The player can include it in an email but don't expect reciprocation if not a junior.

                My boy was there last week , great organization refs and coach turnout, I’m guessing it will be similar for the girls

                  Lol. If your son pays to play then yes. If he plays for a funded academy team then any comparison is silly.

                    I don’t think they have one in south Florida and I’m still at the mind set that playing games against said funded academy competition as opposed to sitting on a funded academy team is worthwhile

                    Lol

                      Didn’t the parkland DOC send his superstar kid to California or somewhere out west to “play” at one of these funded academies? He sat on the bench the whole time , that must have been awesome for the kid

                        So u are stuck with the rest of us pay to play schlubs. Dis funded academies all you want but it they are the only way some players could ever train (even if play time is limited) in such a ridiculously pricy league.

                        Go to the girls showcase where it is all pay to play if you want to see a bunch of affluent talent (with a few outliers) play soccer at a fancy tourney.

                          GDA is not BDA in more ways than we can even list.

                            That's because by an large MLS clubs are better than the pay to play clubs. He wasn't good enough. It's also why most of the MLS clubs want out of DA. They're wasting their time playing a lot of these poorer quality pay to play clubs. In GDA it's all pay to play

                              pricey league?
                              *** are you taking about, my kid played at pinecrest a couple of years ago and with the club fees and tourney fees etc it was more expensive than a year at gda !!!!!!!
