Originally posted by Unregistered View PostHigh School season is 8 weeks long. Hardly going destroy the skills of a top level player, even if the the team is weaker. Many of these players use HS to play a different position (which should help there overall game), and try to improve on areas that they might be weaker in, in order to build confidence. You are also getting 8 weeks of conditioning and at your foot. I disagree that the potential bad outweighs the good, I just do. Then you add the social aspect of it, and memories made for playing in front of crowds, and peers, and for your school. There are intangibles that I feel should not be sacrificed, in order for 1-2 players in a club get to play for a NT. I just think faulty reasoning and going down the wrong path to improve our national program.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI personally love folks like you. You have no idea who is capable of playing in college and are just talking out your butt to further your stupid agenda. Apparently you aren't aware that this state is producing between 50-75 scholarship earning (D1/D2) female players a year and probably an equal number at the non scholarship D3 level. Considering that you are only talking about roughly 20 roster spots per year between the two local DA programs even the bottom of the roster players are going to end up with scholarship offers. Now consider that there are probably 2 dozen D1/D2 programs within the states touching Mass and each one usually looks to bring in roughly 5 players a year, there is going to be more than enough demand for their services.

Awful travel for the northeast.
Boston is in a tough position. Travel to Syracuse, Pa. Va a few times and Maryland.
East meadow is back in. NYCFC is out.
Is World Class in both ?

True top level players are wired differently than even your average college bound prospect. Typically they are not the center of their school's social networks because they are out playing soccer while their classmates are socializing so all of this harping about girls needing to be with their friends is just off the mark. Top level players just march to a different beat altogether and usually they are somewhat aloof from the crowd because they are so focused on their goals. I think you will find that with that type of kid the opportunity to do more of what they love is going to be very attractive to them.

FC Stars posts their college commitments and about 75% of ECNL girls move onto D1 or D2 programs. Add in 50% of the NPL team playing D2 and the no. from Stars alone is about half the low end of that range. NEFC, FCB, Aztecs, etc. picking up the rest.

Originally posted by UnregisteredIt was reported here on TS that 2 years ago NEFC placed around 20 players in D1/D2. Add the Stars in and just between the two clubs you get close to that 50 number just in D1.
