Someone commits early doesn't mean much when no one ever discloses the amount or agreement. One can commit to a school early that says 1500$ per year toward tuition while we carry 28 players on a roster. While another doesn't play for a school at a different college that will pay 75% tuition and expect you to be a starter if you meet expectations. Simply decides to not play and go to a school that meets other interests.
All the top 5-6 teams in the state will have players go to college to play. Top 10 in Washington. All will have players go to every level in college. The next 7-10 will have 1-4 that will play in college.
It's also important to point out that the road to playing in college is happening in many different ways and they all lead to every level of school. Don't be fooled by absolutes or league marketing themes. If your kid is playing 3-5x a week you will be fine. What is next is find somewhere they enjoy and get to play the most. It's not complicated or has to be expensive. Everyone is so focused on each other that once everyone graduates you hope your kid will have what they had before. A place to play 4-6x a week and where they enjoy and get to play the most while they go to college.

On average you will find that every team has a handful that quit, think they are too good for offers, in decisive or other priorities that lead them to not playing.

Add on to these talking points. - Commit does not always equal $, even for D1s. Schools decide how to allocate funds for their teams.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostLargely correct but it does depends on what level of player you're talking about. Top level = 100% if the player wants. It drops down as you drop down the ladder. Not "everyone" in the playing universe can get recruited, and some that might would have to make too many compromises to make it worth while - play on a garbage team at some Podunk college with lousy academics in KS? No thanks. Only 9.6% of all HS aged players will play at any college level and just 2.3% any D1. http://www.scholarshipstats.com/soccer.html

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostAlso spot on. Don’t forget that there are also MANY girls that actually choose to “play on a garbage team at some Podunk college with lousy academics”. More often than not it’s in the Northwest and not Kansas but it could be anywhere. Could be because they aren’t very good students and they aren’t very good soccer players but they love the game. Sadly, many times it’s delusional parents that steer them to any school that will take them just so they can brag that their dd is playing soccer in college. Those are the ones I feel sorry for.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostAnother reason we're with DA. More time to focus on studies. Our daughter has been able to avoid all the extra socializing that comes with 'fitting in' to a High school soccer team. Alot less meeting time consumed as well. We are saving time and money and allowing her to improve from a 'C' student to now over 2.7 GPA and rising with 3 years to improve even more! Now we can see Standford, Pepperdine, UW, Rice, Brown, Harvard as well as lesser known Div 2 schools being real possibilities, all courtesy of the Development Academy. And who knows, our direct connection to NWSL pays dividends we don't even see yet.
You lost us at 2.7. All the schools you say are in the mix? No they are not. You and GDA are perfect for each other.
