    I will preface this by acknowledging that the D1 schools were NOT top 50. No visions of grandeur here.

      Happy Monday! GDA kids are back and ready for HS soccer this week. What you get in life is what you negotiate. Kids that work hard will have options and kids that don't will limit themselves. This is a life lesson for you today. Coaches would rather have a DA kid due to their hard work and commitment to soccer instead of the kids that enjoy life and don't know what its like to make sacrifices. Today is a great day!
      It shows lack of commitment and spineless hs coaches

        If you take the time to review some rosters you will find that while some schools have propensity to recruit international players, most do not. The average seems to be about 2 per squad while some having more and many having none. Also, being an international player is no guarantee of an athletic scholarship. It is more likely that that they are receiving financial aide academically or from their home country. This is especially true for EX Pats whose parents are working here.

        I am sure the NCAA keeps some statistic somewhere if you care to look hard enough. I doubt college coaches are as easily swooned by a British accent as club parents are.......
        Non US citizens do not qualify for federal funds, only private. International players are a bigger factor in men's soccer but growing quickly in women's

        % International Players Men's / Women's
        NCAA I Teams 16.0% 6.2%
        NCAA II Teams 20.7% 5.1%
        NCAA III Teams 2.8% 0.4%
        Total - All NCAA Teams 10.8% 3.6%

            High school should never be about glorifying the high school coaches and players who want to rig the system to have privileges that others can not arrange or that are unethical.

                There are no GDA programs near where we live and the high schools don't have to worry about the players who want to try to come onto high school teams in mid season.

                  Do any southwest or northwest Florida high school teams have a shot at a state title with no GDA players?

                    So you don't have to worry about Districts then. End of story.
