      Define “player” and equate it to the other club teams.
      Every kid on the 02 team was All State. I guess they rank higher by many coaches (their own and league) than what you consider a “player”.

        Still doesn't answer the question. Title IX requires equal participation and equal money correct? Then the average per men might be slightly higher because they may have less teams or total number of players.

        The point is the average scholarship per womens soccer player should closely match what that site indicates.

          Part of it depends on targeting - if you target a program where you'll be a top starter you probably will get some good money. Target a program where you're recruit #8 for the year and you'll be lucky to get a few grand. You probably also won't play much if at all and will be off the roster in two years. Targeting matters for soccer and academic success.
          Generally true but more money goes to early bloomers. Playing time depends on how a player performs in college. UCLA’s Mace didn’t sit the bench because she was discovered late and didn’t get much money. Coaches have proven they aren’t the best at assessing who the best college players will be when the kids are in 8th and 9th grade.

            who is better at assessing talent early?- fat slob dads who may have played 25 years ago and now may play beer league

            sit down before you hurt yourself- let the guy who actually does as a job do the assessing, you just sit there, relax and take in oxygen

              those are revenue sports- soccer isnt

                Not to mention all playing college soccer, 21 D1 players plus a few going to D2 and high academic D3 schools. A few All American HS players, just about everyone of these girls made All State in CIAC and Prep school. Saying they have 4 players makes you an idiot. These teams don’t come around very often in CT, respect what they accomplished with this ECNL class at CFC
