But the sport is run by local clubs and local communities across all our states.
And those guys can make a living creating a pay-to-play system.
It's really ridiculous at this point for me to think I could change that or anybody should.
What AccessU does with the programming we've done in the past is we work around the system and creating another opportunity.
AccessU is not going to unearth the next great national team player.
We are giving kids who have earned it on the field and earned it in the classroom opportunities to go to college and secure scholarships.
So our criteria is you have to have a 3.2 GPA.
Our scouts that we respect from local communities tell us that you're elite level player and can get a D1 or even a D2 scholarship.
You can play D3.
Our first filter is class.
If you don't have the financial means to seek these opportunities, then we don't bring you in.
We provide over the course of four years of high school, one-on-one academic tutoring, one-on-one college counseling, SAT and ACT test prep, college selection, financial aid forms.
And then we have the recruiters on our staff.
We work with a lot of young high school women.
And one of our top recruiter is a woman who won two national championships at Portland.
She has a couple of caps with the U.S.
national team.
She played professionally for the L.A.
Galaxy women's team.
And she can call coaches and have credibility.
