    Just because you play soccer for ECNL or GDA does not mean you aspire to play DI soccer. Most kids are smart enough to choose school for what is right for them academically for whatever they choose to study, at a college they want to be at! By the way I hear Endicott is a beautiful campus.

        You don't need GDA or ECNL to land at Endicott. That's a good deal or time and $ gone that could have been used for test prep and tutors and to land at a better academic school.

            Because unless you're in BDA or have an international passport it's tough to land at a top men's program. The men's HC works hard at it also.

              That’s right you don’t need GDA or ECNL to land at Endicott. Some play for the love of the game, with friends and are not playing for scholarship money. As for saving money for test prep, what makes you think because some chose D2 or D3 they did badly on SAT’s. Some kids and parents are a little more realistic then some posters on here. 99.9% of these kids are never going to be national team players and want to enjoy the college experience. Realize that some play for the live of the game

                Is OW still a thing? Half a decade ago, when my kid went there, they had daddy coaches who gave their own kids unearned time. And, their kids skipped practice. Oh, and they weren't all that good. EB still there? Proof that playing the game doesn't make you a good teacher of the game. This lackluster approach to coaching makes the club a C+ at most. How'd they get GDA? Nobody else wanted it?

                  You can still play and love the game in EDP or other league and wind up at Endicott http://ecgulls.com/sports/wsoc/index

                    A lot of boys and their families don't fully grasp the grade issue until it's too late. They assumed soccer would open doors for their kids. Unless you're a soccer stud it largely doesn't. For girls they tend to not only be more academically focused but with more programs and scholarships they have more opportunities.

                      Yes to your last question.

                        Looks to me like Endicott has a good number of FSA/CFC ECNL and Oakwood players on roster with the majority being Nursing students. Guessing they choose D3 to concentrate on hospital clinicals as a D1 coach usually will try to persuade a recruit to change majors as clinicals take away from training.... happened to a friend

                          D1 is very tough for certain majors. Internships and study abroad are also problematic.

                          There's more players that didn't play in top leagues than did. Depending on your college goals a top league is not a necessity.

                            Way to keep up with the times you moron. Stop playing fortnite with your kid, take shower and get outside for a bit.
