Again, it depends on the level of college you want/are willing to play at. You want to say a player needs to be in ECNL/GA in order to play D1?...
Is your DAUGHTER'S goal to "play in college" or is it to "play Division 1"? As @ThePonchat, said, there are plenty of opportunities to play in...
From what I remember when my oldest played softball, while they did have weeknight games, it was at the cost of practice time. If the fields are...
When DS was a senior, a couple of his HS teammates did the thing where they cut the bottoms off the colored socks, wore white "footies", then put...
I know you've talked about this before, but I still don't understand how it makes things any easier. There's still a finite limit on facility...
Yes, HS soccer is generally just around 3 months. Most players will also find a "club" team to continue training and playing the other 9 months...
Oh, we've definitely had those. Indoor seems to be easier to score. There's one other girl who hasn't scored yet this year, normal CB, HS & club...
Here's an interesting thought/situation, thought it might be worth a discussion here... DD is a senior in HS. Members of her club team...
I did not get that impression at the school DS is going to.
This is where he needs to be his own advocate. You mention earlier that he's sending out highlight videos and getting responses back from coaches....
While I agree it's not needed, if you can find one close by for a reasonable cost (that will depend on the family), it can't hurt. Not so much to...
Barring cost or other things, why not? I would GUESS the ID clinic would give coaches (whoever) a "pre-look" opportunity at the kids. Maybe they...
I would not rule out 3rd party camps. One of the 3rd party camps we went to, one of the coaches was on the phone to DS before we were 10 miles...
When we were doing the ID camp thing... 1) When and where is the camp? There are plenty of other things on a family's schedule that could affect...
My guess is AI to promote the blog/website. What they searched to find a nearly 3 year old thread is beyond me though.
Interesting first post.
I disagree with this. Playing and practicing against people equal or better than you is a good thing. Now, if you're going to be the fifth best...
DS had three... Local club from U8-U11. Then a couple members of the team said they were going to leave and we saw the writing on the wall that...
And don't the towns you mentioned (Louisville and Indianapolis) have semi-pro teams anyways with their own youth programs?
You've mentioned that before, but I still think you'd run into the same problems (scheduling conflicts). The sporting events need to be in the...
That's one problem with having someone count down the seconds. They don't know how to read a clock. When the clock hits 4.9, you should say...
1) Determine how much overlap their is between the sports. 2) Determine which sport is more of a priority to you (and child). This could be...
Ran across this article in USA Today. It's focused on baseball but the tips they give work in any sport....
Aside from challenging for balls in the air, speed (taller players can be pretty fast with long legs), and reach, I don't see how height makes a...
I might have explanation wrong... it's what was relayed to me after the game. It's also possible the CR didn't see a foul at all. The pass to...
