....and this is how the "skill-less thug", who is very athletic, gets a D1 or D2 scholarship. She plays an important role on a very successful team and she gets seen by college coaches at major showcase tournaments.
Moral of the story:
1. There's a place on the field for everyone, as long as they are committed.
2. By the age of U-16, yes it is very important that your daughter is playing on a championship team.
Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.

Regarding the U14 Girls division, I see that CESA 93 Premier and the CESA 93 Challenge 1 tied each other 1:1 when they played in April. Was the game close or was this a strategic move?

It looks like they played two games on the same day and both ended in 1-1 draw. That's mighty impressive for any team to get these results against the Premier team. WOW!!!! And the single goal was scored by the same Premier player in both games, and there was an assist by same Premier player in both games! One in a million stats!! Congrats to both teams. Outstanding.

In South Carolina....probably any team that qualifies for R3PL and can get invites (or acceptances) to showcase tournaments.
