At U18 it is about getting college exposure for some and others having their last fun season.

But the boys did enjoy the level of competition and most said it was the best competition they had in their youth soccer careers.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostOK we played in U18 R3PL last year and the fact is that it did nothing for college exposure if that is your goal. The boys that got recruited did so at Disney and IMG showcases.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostHeard the Space Coast coaches couldn't attend the games scheduled for R3PL. That sucks you win everything and your club can't support you. Bet the parents must be pissed. Why didn't the team go to another club?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThey didn't go to another club because they have the best coach you find. Plus there is no value in playing in the R3PL as a U18 team. No college coaches attend those games anyway. You can get top competition at high level tournaments that college coaches will actually attend.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostObviously your team has never played at the R3 level.! The games in S Carolina are attended by college coaches for the u16-u18 level. Don't worry play in the Florida all, you want...not good enough for R3 except for a fluke win in State Cup.

But if your goal is recruiting then I can say that R3PL was not a "direct" factor. We had an assistant from Jacksonville come to one game and that was about it over two years. But R3Pl did help in that it kept us sharp for when we had to play top teams in tournaments.
The reality is that unless you are in DA you have to work really hard to get recruited by a D1 school and your team has to go to top tournaments and advance deep or win to be even scouted by the DII and DIII schools.
Also do not discount state cup as a recruiting tool. Our team made it to the state cup finals in their junior year and Eckerd, UT, St Leo and Rollins did attend our state cup final. St Leo and Lynn did attend our final 8 game in state cup but only to see boys that had contacted then over the season. Again unless you are DA you have to work real hard to get recruited and this is the message I am trying to convey; work hard and it will happen
Finally do not discount your grades and ACT/SAT scores. You can be the next best thing but if you do not have at least 3.0 then your are not playing college soccer. Grades and scores are the first thing coaches asked of us.
Best of luck in your last year and enjoy every minute of it

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI posted the above and we played in R3Pl last year and year before. I can honestly say that it was the best competition our team and my son ever played in. It was a bit pricey with all the travel but over all it was worth the experience. It was refreshing playing different teams instead of the same old teams we played against since u13 and seeing Savannah Georgia a couple of times was cool.
