Date: November 4th, 2024 6:05 PM Author: snoot And these decisions are made at a very early age. If she's not on a top 5 or so team in your state by age 10, she might as well quit. It's never going to happen for her. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5624899&forum_id=2/#48282428) |

|
Date: November 4th, 2024 6:21 PM Author: snoot if your daughter is 12 or under, i'd say the following are the best clubs for training and opportunities to progress at the elite level:
Matchfit Morris Football Academy STA - Morris United Cedar Stars - Monmouth Real Football Academy PDA North SJEB Worldclass Torpedoes
Every kid on the first team at any of those clubs has the potential to play D1 soccer. FA in particular is a new club so their older teams aren't great but holy shit every team from U8-U14 is really fucking strong. |

Date: November 4th, 2024 6:07 PM Author: hank_scorpio why would you want your daughter to play d1 soccer and get dicked down by athletic chads instead of doing girl stuff? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5624899&forum_id=2/#48282441) |

Date: November 4th, 2024 6:23 PM Author: snoot what the fuck are you even saying? do you have a brain? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5624899&forum_id=2/#48282489) |
|
Date: November 4th, 2024 6:26 PM Author: hank_scorpio it just doesn't seem like a particularly great path for a daughter, you would be killing yourself in hopes of a scholarship to a school that fits her athletic ability and not intellectual ability and that's a best case scenario, she could fall in love with soccer and want to play so bad she takes a div iii offer at some directional state u and gets knocked up by the janitor (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5624899&forum_id=2/#48282497) |

Date: November 4th, 2024 6:53 PM Author: snoot she loves playing bro. sorry you weren't good at sports as a kid. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5624899&forum_id=2/#48282602) |
|
Date: November 4th, 2024 6:54 PM Author: hank_scorpio oh I loved sports, I played with my actual friends on local teams and we just enjoyed and then quit when we were in hs like normal people (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5624899&forum_id=2/#48282619) |
|
Date: November 4th, 2024 6:55 PM Author: snoot haha yeah high schools don't even have sports teams. all the good athletes quit when they are 13 years old. everyone knows that. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5624899&forum_id=2/#48282626) |
|
Date: November 4th, 2024 6:58 PM Author: hank_scorpio that doesn't seem to be what you're talking about man, the odds that the white people in your school district are a top five team are pretty low (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5624899&forum_id=2/#48282653) |
|
Date: November 4th, 2024 7:01 PM Author: snoot you didn't play any sport at even a moderately high level. it's ok to just not participate in this conversation. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5624899&forum_id=2/#48282673) |
|
Date: November 4th, 2024 7:05 PM Author: hank_scorpio I suppose you played a little college ball then? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5624899&forum_id=2/#48282690) |
|
Date: November 4th, 2024 7:14 PM Author: snoot i played soccer at a reasonably high level and was a standout player. i could have played at a smaller school but went to a big sTTTate U and was not that level player.
|
|
Date: November 4th, 2024 7:17 PM Author: hank_scorpio then perhaps you are seeing my point now? even with your flame you can't claim to have been even close to good enough to make a state flagship so your daughter would likely be consigned to the same fate, why not just enjoy normal soccer and let do unless she turns into a phenom? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5624899&forum_id=2/#48282755) |
|
Date: November 4th, 2024 7:19 PM Author: snoot she's far more athletically gifted than i was.
she enjoys soccer. despite training 4 days a week and having games on the weekends, yesterday she wanted to do extra training with me in the backyard. |
|
Date: November 4th, 2024 7:20 PM Author: hank_scorpio ok bro but if she's ten I would still vote for just chilling the fuck out and letting her play normal girl's soccer because this is real life (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5624899&forum_id=2/#48282769) |

Date: November 4th, 2024 7:29 PM Author: snoot Which team do you think she should play for? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5624899&forum_id=2/#48282828) |

Date: November 4th, 2024 7:44 PM Author: hank_scorpio whichever one her dad who is clearly a little too invested in reliving his glory days of almost being good enough will just drop her off at without d1 expectations (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5624899&forum_id=2/#48282917) |
|
Date: November 4th, 2024 7:57 PM Author: snoot Can you give me some more parenting tips? If you could please draw on your own personal experience with your own kids I'd appreciate it.
Relationship advice is also welcome. |
|
Date: November 4th, 2024 7:58 PM Author: hank_scorpio ouch, a little too close to home huh? It isn't as though you were soliciting tips from racist lawyers (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5624899&forum_id=2/#48282980) |
|
Date: November 4th, 2024 8:10 PM Author: snoot Its laughably far from home. I feel immense guilt about not having my daughter start playing soccer at a younger age. At least twice a month I ask her if she's enjoying it and tell her after next season she can stay with this team, play on a less competitive team or quit altogether. Choice is totally hers. I wasn't soliciting advice. I was stating facts in my OP.
I just get a kick out of your arrogance. I've never encountered someone so confident of his position on every issue even when he is completely ignorant, as you are here. |
|
Date: November 4th, 2024 8:33 PM Author: hank_scorpio so the point of this thread was to confirm what you already decided you know your daughter wants? solid stuff (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5624899&forum_id=2/#48283188) |
|
Date: November 4th, 2024 8:51 PM Author: snoot It's informative and an opportunity to discuss youth sports. I didn't ask for advice. No one here even knows my daughter. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5624899&forum_id=2/#48283283) |

Date: November 4th, 2024 8:48 PM Author: Jonald J. Trump bro, i'm sorry, i don't want to embarass you, but I remember your soccer posting back in 2012. i'll just leave it at that and not say anything else (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5624899&forum_id=2/#48283266) |

Date: November 4th, 2024 9:16 PM Author: snoot Bro stopper was a legitimate position. You need to stop. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5624899&forum_id=2/#48283445) |

Date: November 4th, 2024 6:53 PM Author: snoot i just want to be clear here. are you calling my 10 year old daughter gay? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5624899&forum_id=2/#48282608) |
|
Date: November 4th, 2024 6:55 PM Author: tim heidegger sounds like she'll get there (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5624899&forum_id=2/#48282627) |
|
Date: November 4th, 2024 6:55 PM Author: .,.,...,..,.,.,:,,:,..,:::,.,.,:,.,.:.,:.,:.::,. what's the annual cost of being on one of those teams, in terms of both time and money? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5624899&forum_id=2/#48282628) |
|
Date: November 4th, 2024 6:56 PM Author: snoot $3,000 plus a $500 new set of uniforms and backpack every year. let's say $150 per year of footwear. also travel expenses for out of town tournaments. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5624899&forum_id=2/#48282636) |
|
Date: November 4th, 2024 9:22 PM Author: .,.,...,..,.,.,:,,:,..,:::,.,.,:,.,.:.,:.,:.::,. how much do the travel expenses total? that's obviously the most expensive part. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5624899&forum_id=2/#48283475) |
|
Date: November 4th, 2024 9:46 PM Author: snoot So far not bad. We've had a couple weekend tournaments in PA just far enough that it made sense to get a hotel.
In the later teenage years, you'll be flying across the country multiple times a year for tournaments. Or driving 5 hours each way for a single league game. |

Date: November 4th, 2024 6:56 PM Author: Fry Mumia More like if you want your daughter to play D1 anything then soccer is the last sport you should introduce her to. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5624899&forum_id=2/#48282634) |
|
Date: November 4th, 2024 6:56 PM Author: snoot why? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5624899&forum_id=2/#48282638) |

Date: November 4th, 2024 6:57 PM Author: Ass Sunstein Most competition. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5624899&forum_id=2/#48282647) |
|
Date: November 4th, 2024 7:00 PM Author: snoot There are 333 D1 women's soccer teams each with a roster of about 30 players. That's 10,000 players. I live in northern NJ which has one of if not the highest concentration of elite soccer academies in the world.
For boys, it's much harder. So many more boys play so the competition to make any decent team is really tough. Even mediocre clubs will field 3 teams at every age level and still have cuts. And then there are a ton of international recruits for D1 programs. You really have to be an exceptional talent to play D1 men's soccer nowadays.

Date: November 4th, 2024 7:02 PM Author: Ass Sunstein Ok, but how many of those are colleges you'd actually want to attend? Maybe 10-20? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5624899&forum_id=2/#48282679) |
|
Date: November 4th, 2024 7:11 PM Author: snoot Maybe she gets a scholarship or maybe soccer pushes her over the edge for a school she was otherwise borderline on admissions. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5624899&forum_id=2/#48282719) |

Date: November 4th, 2024 7:12 PM Author: harvested ballots Bro I grew up in the same area and played baseball at one of the “Bosco’s.” I am married to a fuckin soccer chick who I dated in HS (she went to our sister school) who played D1 at a SUNY while I played at a DIII. I have no doubt that she got dicked every time she was “drunk” and refuses to admit it to me. I even try to tell her I would be turned on by it if she told me the stories. She still refuses and says I’m being ridiculous. I know she cheated.
Point of this story is we always planned on going to the same college. It’s super random depending on what they need that year, whether the coach likes you etc.
Look on instagram at the competition now compared to how it was when we were kids. We competed with towns these kids compete in universes now. If a coach from Stetson wanted to see a kid play from California in 1993 he got on a plane. Now he clicks instagram. |

Date: November 4th, 2024 8:21 PM Author: Fry Mumia By far the most competitive female sport per capita. Lacrosse/field hockey much better if you still want the team sport experience/want your kid to be a jock and not a dork swimmer/golfer/tennis.
