Thanks! The website says the kid or parent just sends an email to "Sheldon" and you're good to go. And then if the school actually confirms you get an asterisk. Cool.

Looks like these players escaped the trashing of their names, clubs etc.. Should this site hold true to its history if there is a parent who thinks their joey or susie is a better player than you, maybe you beat them on a 50/50 in a U10 game years ago or maybe you were made captain of your HS team over their precious and they are not over it yet , expect to be trashed.

Interesting tidbit from ESPN Rise.

Fort Hays State, a DII school, has 31 2011 commitments -- 31, all with the asterisk indicating coach/school confirmation.

How do you get on TOP SOCCER players to watch list?
I have heard all you need to do is pay and sign up.
Is that true? And if so, why isn't most of the people on this site signing their kids up?

Partially true

You are correct! New program, new coach, brand new soccer stadium. Open tryout was scheduled on 2/26 so perhaps most of the recruits are a product of that tryout.

Partially true

I was told if i signed up and put out my son's name, he would make the list

Son's club coach submitted his name and recommendation in our case.

You absolutely were not told this by anyone at TDS. Perhaps you heard this from some parent who is not familiar with how it works. As I do some work on the web site for the Zieglers, I know how this works. And while my kid plays club soccer, he isn't on the list. And I do some work for these people.

What is clear is that those kids that do not appear on the list like to list "politics" or "payments" as the reason others are on it. Kids are watched and/or recommended by respected coaches. That's how they get added. No one is suggesting that it's a definitive list, but it's based on the input of people who are in position to offer unbiased and respected opinions.
