    Ten percent go to other players. So be in that 10 percent.

      And before ECNL existed what league did they play in? Again, not a knock on the goals of the program, they need to just rein in the travel some.

        If you think a high percentage of kids get identified at the D1 level by showing up at ID camps, you are delusional. Sure, there players where that works but the odds are not in your favor. With less time and resources available, most D1 coaches scout the ECNL/DA showcases and the large regional tournaments like CASL and Jefferson Cup. Many go watch kids who wrote them and sent film.

        However, the number of players who only played HS soccer and get recruited by quality D1 schools is probably zero and you will have to post some verifiable facts for anyone to believe you.

        If your talking NAIA, JUCO and some D3 schools, then yes; you are correct. That being said, most high level D3 schools are filled with DA men and ECNL girls.

In the panhandle we don’t have DA or ecnl within a 4-6 hour drive and girls sign D1 and we get college coaches who travel just to watch training as well as league games. I’ve had college coaches directly say that they shop talent and don’t believe that DA or ecnl is necessary- at least for some players at the club we are at.

          There are players playing ecnl or DA who aren’t that good. They happen to live in a very populated area with the opportunity.
          This is true. Some clubs in MS or LA have 7-8 girls playing all committed to big d-1’s. They don’t have ecnl or DA as an option. Great talent on some of those teams and they play ecnl teams and win all the time.

              Exactly what you expect an ecnl or DA parent to say. Can’t Phathom some kid being good enough who doesn’t live on a major metro who doesn’t have access to the same opportunities. Take a stroll out to NW FL and see what our kids can do without it.

                Most asinine comment there is. It's also wrong, a lie, and misleading. There are over 340 D1 soccer programs and you choose to focus on less than 3 percent of them. lol #getouttahere

                  Really? Non ECNL teams play ECNL all the time and beat them? Do tell.

                    How about you come up with some facts instead of throwing out some vague statement with nothing quantifiable.

                      Ok rocket scientist- just 1 club in NW FL - which has no ecnl within 5-6 hours drive- has placed more than 30 girls in d-1 or d-2 programs in the last 2 years. Some at major SEC and ACC teams.

                      Btw- I am not the OP but been watching this thread.

                          Sounds like the only possibility- is there even another club out there in the middle of nowhere?

                            Looks like the non-ECNL teams are doing just fine.
