DM: Saw your tweet that ECNL or GA is the way to go for girls for college recruiting. My daughter (14) is going to ECNL tryouts this week, but there is only one ECNL team in the state. If she doesn’t make that team, the local GA team is terrible, and tryouts overlap with ECNL.
Is it better to be on a terrible GA team than a good NPL team?

#CSTruth It’s about exposure and commitments.
Ask yourself,
A: Which one provides more exposure to college coaches?
B: Which club has had more success with college commits?
C: Do I want my kid to play college soccer?
Because as bad as one team may be, if they still have more exposure to college coaches than a good team that will never be seen then there’s your answer.
Answer A, B and C and what is important to you and you’ll have your answer.
