Lost in semis. 4-1

Ran into a team with a striker committed to a D1 school. They were just outclassed.

It happens in club soccer. That just shows the level of talent that you start seeing in club. Good on them for reaching the semis.

Where is the stress fracture, how long is the anticipated healing, and what grade is he moving into? Is his school team any good? — although it’s generally club, not school, soccer that gets the looks from colleges.

If he’s interested in playing college, have you started navigating the NCAA forms? They were super fun, at least back in 2001 or 02 or so.

—edit to add: lol feel free to tell me to MYOB. It appears that old soccer moms never die; we just move onto becoming soccer grandmas.

He has limited interest in playing college soccer at this time. I wouldn't be shocked if he decides to play for some D2 school though once he sees that his grades/test scores aren't high enough to get substantial academic scholarship offers.

Spouse got D1 offers in basketball in HS. She was flagged by Clearinghouse so she's well aware of all the NCAA fun that we might be looking towards.

The striker on the team that won state is probably being fast-tracked to playing professional ball. Helps that his dad is a part owner of the MLS team but he's best player I've seen on the fields in this area.

They will likely let him start running the first or second week of December.

School team is good but play in the same region as defending state champion and another nationally ranked team. Essentially getting out of the regions might be harder than the state tourney.

Part of me wants to feel sorry for Joe, but I'm not sure I can have sympathy for a Dawg fan.
