PDA Girls Tryouts

Rutgers won like 3 games .. Complete joke

There is another thread on Rutgers soccer, but you are right - they are a joke.

There are 5 girls from PDA Blue that are committed to Rutgers. They are all starters and play most of the game. Other 3 commitments are from different PDA teams. If you want to see their quality, or evaluate coaching for those players - come to the games or ask parents to see videos of the games.

There is good and bad. As long as you are walking in with your eyes open you’ll be fine.

Anyone who is fortunate enough to have their daughters have the opportunity to commit to a D1 program(s) understand what goes into the decision. These PDA players came to this club because it’s one of the top clubs in the country. It plays in the top league and has the most competitive teams. There are no promises made to these players or obligation that if you play at PDA that you automatically have a spot at Rutgers. You have parents who have convinced themselves and keep mentioning on these pages that there is a deal. That is just not true. There are hundreds of players at PDA who do not have a clear path to any college other than having the opportunity to getting identified at ECNL events as well as attend college camps and clinics. Those players who committed to Rutgers had other offers from other college and chose to accept Rutgers. As I stated above, that decision has many factors involved. There are PDA players who accepted other offers for those same reasons. The final decision is a personal decision for the player and her family. There was never any pressure by PDA to choose Rutgers and that I know for sure.

Well said, people on this forum are jealous, disgruntled parents who feel the need to dump on others. Cowards!

Filling the sidelines with your own players to make it look like the club is a destination. The Blue teams being hand selected from outside of the club. The White and RL teams paying for TA country club memberships under the false pretenses that there are actually pathways at PDA.

There is a pathway in PDA, just not to Blue and Blue is starting to suffer for it. White and RL North (ie Shore) are starting to trickle to South. How long before enough talent comes to another club, that sees Blue twice a year, starts putting up fights with them? We played Blue twice and lost but neither looked impressive. The fabled might of Blue during our second game actually looked beatable. We expected this high pressure highly skilled force and they were a bunch of little girls not much better then our own.

Compared to last year, night and day. I saw alot of kids from Penn Fusion and SJEB at the tryouts. Every age group that we saw had a really good turnout. We saw some very good talent there. Actually looking forward to the fall

Few Real FC bags too so it seems PDA South is turning the corner a bit. We’ll see.
