    I will post a comment for the algo. As others have commented, the system we have does not work for a lot of great players in the US. I appreciate that you acknowledge that while also building a business within and around the US system. One pathway that I have heard is viable from player stories is the JUCO route. Players from lower leagues who have the skill can grow their game and make good connections in JUCO and then move to an NCAA school after two years.

    Very helpful here. I play in West Virginia for the biggest club in the state but there aren’t many options in the area. We’ve beat USL academies and have beat MLSDA teams. The club just switched from Great Lakes to E64. My brother played for the same club. Played for the same hs I’ll play for next year and got 1000+ mins for Marshall university (D1) as a freshman. The reality is Is that there aren’t as many options around here.

    From my experience as a coach ECNL and E64 are fairly similar when it comes to exposure and level of play. Both have respective RL teams that act as their B teams essentially and even they have very similar exposure for college coaches. At this level though, it's all about the effort you put into the process. Even at the MLS Next level, if you aren't reaching out to colleges they won't see you unless you are the top top player on your team.

    My son is in his senior year of high school and has been doing ID Camps since Freshman year. Recently his club had to drop out of ECNL because his club has an MLS Next team and ECNL told the club that the top tier team at the club had to be ECNL or they had to drop out of ECNL. So for his upcoming club season, spring in our area, they will have a U19 NAL team. He has been in communication with about 10 colleges, D1, D2 and D3. How do you think this change in from ECNL to NAL effect him with these teams. All the colleges have said positive things about him after the ID Camps and in correspondence, but as of today he has not received any offers. A few schools, D3, have told him to apply but have not made any offers. Some of the D2 schools have asked him what his timeline is for making decision and he has told them by the end of the high school season which is around Thanksgiving. The D1 schools have told him to keep sending video and his game schedule. Is this how the process works?

      @collegesoccerguy  Год назад +2

      Joe great question. All of this varies per club, per team and per situation. It is great that he is talking to these teams. It is late for him to not have an offer at this point but it is not too late.
      The only way for me to know exactly his situation and if he is in a good place about to receive an offer or if he is just being strung along is if we schedule a call. Hope to hear from you.

    I am 14 years old and in 8th grade. I joined a club team last year and is playing necsl but will be playing edp in the spring. I practice individually every day and want to climb to ecnl and other high level clubs in Rhode Island. But I don’t know if I am good enough and what I should be doing to achieve my goals.

    I have only played in the competitive CSA (colorado soccer association) advanced league for 2 seasons - I'm pretty sure this would be at the bottom tier of your pyramid - and 2 seasons of Highschool (JV last year and varsity/swing this year). I was among the best out of the swing players but among the worst in the Varsity squad. I love soccer but I honestly think I may not have the skill or enough time to develop to play in College. Should I pursue this or is that not realistic? Any tips and thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Im wondering if i should tryout, and if I were to make the team, what would be the next step? The MLS NXT and ECNL teams are all in the capital which is like a 2hr + drive for most teams from me

      @collegesoccerguy  5 месяцев назад

      Mls Next players for the most part cannot play Highschool. There are very few exceptions. In terms of your club you should be trying to play at the highest level possible, Call me if you need help link is in the description.

    • @johnyoung823
      @johnyoung823 3 месяца назад

      Play in the highest league possible where you can still be one of the main players. For the boys side, that’s MLS Next.
      You can’t play high school when playing MLS Next but can get a waiver to play high school if you’re on a scholarship at a private high school or something. There may be additional special cases waivers but generally you don’t play high school with MLS Next.

      @collegesoccerguy  4 месяца назад

      ECNL-RL is in a higher tier with more exposure from college coaches. Also ECNL-RL teams are often affiliated with ECNL teams so you can be moved up. For both tiers aim for division 2 and 3 schools at the start.

    I’m 11 years old and I play in the NPL because our coach thinks that Pre-ECNL and ECNL are all for the money. He said NPL teams can compete with ECNL teams and still win. His 2006 girl team beat the number one team in the nation SOLAR and they also play in the NPL. My question is how do I become part of MLS Next, when is tryouts and is NPL really high competition?

    • @collegesoccerguy
      @collegesoccerguy  Месяц назад

      It is not about who is better. It is about who gets the most exposure. At that age improvement is great but other kids will be playing ECNL and those teams get full, but it varies per player and club so please book a call for us to help

    This video helped me to better understand club youth soccer in america, especially because it relates to me and i’m a 13 year old going through this aspect of my career right now. My parents are giving me the opportunity to try out for a NPL team which i have and they liked me. Less traveling less money. Another option that might not work out is ECNL path. A team that liked me aswell. just way more traveling. Your thoughts?

    • @collegesoccerguy
      @collegesoccerguy  5 месяцев назад +1

      ECNL is the higher level so try to shoot for that. If thats not possible NPL is still a good level, but you will have to start by reaching out to lower level D2 and D3 schools.

    • @johnyoung823

    Thanks for another informative video. We have been considering a club that will play pre-ECNL and a club that will play E-64 next season. My son would be playing up if we chose that club.
    I also very much liked the video touching on D3 schools being high academic schools. I have stressed with him since he started playing club soccer that if he doesn’t keep his grades up then he won’t get to play. I let him know it’s a lesson I learned the hard way after being recruited to play for several NAIA schools and messing my grades up. I also didn’t have the advice and guidance provided in your videos. I use my lesson to show the importance of maintaining high academic standards.
    Again, thank you so much for providing the information and advice.

    • @collegesoccerguy
      @collegesoccerguy  8 месяцев назад

      Varies per the age group. Ask the coach you are with, they will be able to tell you and if they can't or won't that is a red flag. Slammers is a very good club on the girls side.

    • @esprado690
      @esprado690 4 месяца назад

      Slammers plays in different leagues. Depends on teams level. They play in SoCal, ENCL, ECRL and I know girls play NpLso I’m sure boys do too

    • @johnyoung823
      @johnyoung823 3 месяца назад

      It’s very easy. Look at the older teams of the chapter of your Slammers. Whatever league they’re in is the pathway you’re on for your son. Slammers are everywhere and each chapter is different. Slammers route to ECNL. So look for a chapter that plays ECNL starting at U13 (in 2024 it’s 2012s)

    Hi Coach, I had a quick question. Are top D3 schools such as MIT, JHU, NYU, University of Chicago, WashU in St. Louis, etc as competitive as lower level D1 schools? Basically will I have to be at a D1 level to play at these schools. Also do you think that Caltech would be considered a top D3 school?

Local clubs that are not GA or ECNL badged are essentially putting out information to pursuade best players at her age in the two closest counties not to try out for the only club that is ecnl badged. So has been a rough go playing against the other pre ecnl teams in the division (mostly NJ, PA, amd Bethesda, MD) were there is not that active attempt to block kids for trying out for what is generally the best oppotunity.

I am currently recovering from a knee surgery and am wondering, is it too late for my to play at the college level as I don't play for a club team, and I am coming off an injury. Also, where would i find tryout information for club teams?

    How can a player play in both mls next and ecnl simultaneously? Seems like it’s possible on the ecnl side but not mls next. Mls next requires you to only play mls next and you cannot play for another league in another club.

    Where do you think the NAL will be in the next 5 years for girls? My Daughter is 7 and her current club (older girls teams) joined the NAL last year and did very well. There is a much larger club in the area that plays in ECNL.
    At the younger ages its all about development and her current club is great versus the larger ECNL club where you can get lost along with all the ridiclous politics before they are even 10. I want her to focus on development, having fun, playing time #1 and see where NAL is in 5 years versus ECNL and go from there.
    I think my logic makes sense, but if you think the NAL has limited upside - that might be an issue in 5 years. Thank you

Currently 8th and guaranteed to graduate high school at the top with many honors and roles he'll work towards. In EA1 and recently tried out for MLS Next. Would it be a possibility to be recruited for Harvard (has secondary legacy with college, grad school and law school), Yale and Stanford. Would it be a possibility? Would doing their summer clinics help starting next summer? Or is this summer better? We have vacation planned this summer. Is continuing in EA1 enough or would that discount him to be recruited by any of the top schools? We're in Southern California.

      USL Academy ranks amongst the higher tiers if the club is affiliated with ECNL or MLS Next. If they do not compete in either league the exposure will be minimal. Elite Academy is third tier.

    My son is in the process of choosing between ECNL-RL and EA in the Denver area. Would you recommend one over the other? My son is hoping to make ECNL or MLS-Next, but for now these are his options this season. Would love your thoughts.

    personally i think e64 is better than ecnl rl because first of all ecnl rl is a regional league and also I've made ecnl, ecnl rl, and e64 teams and I've played in those leagues and i would say out of those three the order from best to worst is ecnl, e64, and by far ecnl rl

      At different teams the level could differ, but in terms of level and exposure ECNL-RL is better for college coaches to see you playing at. Another reason is because almost all ECNL-RL clubs have an ECNL Team linked with them which makes it easier to get moved up.

    Im a 16yo playing at the highest premier division (just below npl in cali). My team has been first in premeir 3 years in a row but just cant seem to win the npl qualifying tourneys. We are also in the EA league along with our normal league. I am one of the best if not the best player on my team and am thinking about playing at a higher level (ecnl/npl preferably) but what's holding me back is my coaches have a lot of connections with big names and college coaches, and that this is my home team and is in walking distance. What is your opinion on what i should do?

    Can you rank PaWest? Here in Pittsburgh there is only one team in MLS Next, Beadling, one Ecnl team, Riverhounds, but there are a lot of PaWest Classics leagues. Can you explain how PaWest ranks comparatively to other leagues?

      Would be tier 4 any thing not on that list is considered tier 4 by coaches and D1 is not realistic in most cases

    • @collegesoccerguy
      @collegesoccerguy  3 месяца назад

      It is really good it could mean for now you might not get much game time, but you can work your way up and it is also good for colleges to show you are playing at a high level. If you need help call me link is in the description.
