      00 girls with 4 in the pool and 3 to Boca. Plus the RI NEFC kids. Well represented. NEFC B team puts a kid in the Boca roster. That's interesting. A testament to the inconsistency of the roster, NEFC selection bias, or some other explanation?

          And yet US evaluators continue to pass over better players for the tall, fast ones.

            A number of players are far from tall. Some are rather small.

              Maybe on the men's side, but the women seem to have figured it out. Most of the team is taller than the average person, but you can't discount players like Dunn and Pugh.

                  For National play and FB postings.

                    Lol. When your kid makes it they get pushed to the top of the soccer pyramid so things like scholarships and stuff like that start falling their way and you get to laugh at the whiny parents who complain that ODP isn't fair while telling everyone academics come first in your family.

                      Your heart is so pure and generous, BTNT. Love how you always stand so tall.

                          Back to the original question

                          FWIW, my daughter participated in the Region 1 camp for the first time this year, not in the youngest age group, so the coaches had already seen many of the players in her age group before. Although no coaches from her club were at the camp and she knew none of the coaches in her age group beforehand, she was selected for the pool and for Boca. Several girls in her group who didn't make it last year were selected this year. Other players who made the team before did not make it into the ID team until after several days. While she may have differed with a few of the coaches' selection for the pool, she did think all of the players picked were worthy of consideration, i.e., nobody seemed to be pick solely based on their connections or reputation.

                          So based on this admittedly limited experience, we did not see any "fix" or pre-selection of players.

                          To address a more recent question, I still haven't figured out what being selected to the pool, but not for the Boca camp, does for the girls other than give them a line on the soccer resume.

                          And if anyone has any info about how the Boca camp works, could you please share it?
