Girls Recruiting Insider: April 23

Article Written by J.R. Eskilson & Travis Clark, ESNN
Updated: April 23, 2012

In this week’s installment of the recruiting insider, a pair of twins is set on attending the same school plus a star recruit from New Jersey wants to join a title contender.

Kaitlin and Taylor Klawunder, So Cal Blues U16 Draluck, Midfield/Forward

Class: 2014

Kaitlin and Taylor Klawunder are inseparable.They are twins, best friends, and very talented soccer players.

The latter point forces an interesting dilemma, as they reach the normal age for elite girls soccer players to verbally commit to a school.

But, according to both, they decided a while ago that they would be going to the same college. ”We have always wanted to go to college together,” the duo told TopDrawerSoccer.com over email. “We are better together because we motivate each other to do better in life, school and soccer.”

It has not been a major issue though, as they said the majority of schools have been interested in both of them. “As twins, we have a good connection on and off the field and most of the coaches we have been in contact with seem to like this about us.”

They added that they’ve received interest from “most of the schools in the Pac 12 and West Coast Conference as well as many schools across the country.”, “We are looking for a program that promotes balance and success on and off the field. We are looking for the perfect fit for the both of us!”

Don’t expect any rush on that decision though, as the two ODP Region IV standouts are carefully weighing their options. “It has been exciting to think about college and our future but also overwhelming because it is a big decision that will impact the rest of our lives,” they said. “Because of this, we want to be patient with the process and focus on the things that really matter to us.”

  
U16 Draluck's Kassidy Gorman...Outside The Lines

My name is Kassidy Gorman and I had the privilege of volunteering at Saddleback Church to take care of orphans for the day. These children have had the experience of having no parents. Working with them really allowed me to work with underprivileged children and see the things that I take for granted on a daily basis are extremely important to them.

This experience really changed my outlook on how important it is to volunteer and give these children the love and attention that every child needs. I had the opportunity to specifically work with a young girl named Daphlia, who was only three years old. We did everything from playing with marbles to coloring. You could see that she loved the time I spent with her and I am fortunate for this experience. I encourage anyone who has extra time to experience spending time with an orphan child.
