coach in this case i think you have the player pool because you win.on the premier level anyway.
players that want to play in college and parents that want some help,need to be playing in front of the college coaches.to do that you need to be playing on a team and club that does that for you.if a club or team does not win then i think the player pool is not there.
sorry if i can not wait for your reply.i have to work for a change.
P.S. this is just for the premier level.i know it may be different within a club on the classic level.



I'd have to agree with everything you said there, but with one question: are college coaches so narrow in their focus that they only pay attention to the single most championship-winning club teams in the state? If a club is successful enough to be the second-winningest in the state, with multiple finalist positions at State Cup, are those players going to be passed over, or will the recruiters realize that not all of the best players are always on the winning team? Serious questions...it seems that the argument continually boils down to State Cup championships, with anything less than #1 being labeled as "inferior" and "inadequate."



just home from work so sorry for the late post.it will be short.im tired.
i really didnt mean winning the state cup in my post but i just meant winning. i think any kid can get some exposure to college coaches no matter what team or level they play on if they do some leg work themselves.i just think that playing at a higher level and getting into these bigger tournys kids get the exsposure to coaches outside sc.odp is another way.
i do think that college coaches are more likely to come watch a region team play rather than a classic team.
if you are a college coach and you have your choice between 2 games to watch.west va playing louisiana or north texas playing south texas.which game do you watch?
cufc u-17 girls messed up this year.i thought they were a lock to repeat.even though they did not win state cup and finished 3rd,most if not all of those girls will play in college if they choose to.
