She might be fast. If she is fast enough that is all you need. ECNL is at its highest level is just High School kids. If you are really fast you can make a ton of mistakes and recover. It’s like having a big eraser.

Dumbest statement of the day award.

And what does just high school kids mean? WTF do you expect them to be? Robots? I’m mean, at the end of the day, we’re all humans. So why do you get paid more than others? We’re all humans, so why is Tom Brady a great quarterback and I’m not? So forth and so on

No it make totally sense. In high school and lower you can be one dimensional(fast/great athlete) and just show up. I have seen it a many times especially with speed. Someone shows up and has speed(like 4.5 in the 40 speed boy or like 5.0 for a girl), they will make a place for them. Now at the next level(college or pros) the differential in athleticism decreases and it becomes about skill.

The tall, superfast kid with no skill? Good centerbacks sort kids like that out by U13.

Sure - but the good centerbacks aren't playing in high school since they are playing on teams which discourage or flat out forbid it.

There are plenty of high school teams (no - probably not the top ones) where the PP is absolutely correct - and a blazingly fast kid who really can't play will get on the team and even start.

Dude....you need to stop. You sound foolish.

You're confused. I'm the guy who made the last comment, but not the one who made the earlier comment. I'm agreeing with him (or her) because I have seen it with my own eyes.

PP here. HS soccer - like all high school sports - is mixed. Some teams are pretty good while other are downright awful.

HS coaches don’t have the luxury of picking their student athletes. A HS team will always have players with different talent, club, and league levels. That’s the beauty of HS soccer. It’s not meant to be the greatest show on earth. It’s meant to represent your school in a sport and play with your classmates.

I completely agree with all of that - which doesn't change the fact that the PP was correct in his assertion that athletes without much skill can make those teams. Nothing wrong with it - it's just a fact.

I’m not debating that. I’m debating that the poster say you can make a ECNL team because they are nothing but HS girls.

Well someone seemed to be debating that . And yes - I (although not at least one other poster) agree with you on your position that ECNL is different from HS in that regard.

Yet another league thread, I.e., where the parents of the talentless come to debate the value of a league patch. Nobody with talented kids or talented teams cares about this. You only need to talk about being in the Ivy League if you are not at the best in the league or the best in your class at a school in the Ivy League. The rest all put school bumper stickers on their priuses while the talent is flying in their private jets. How are those priuses these days? Have a wonderful day folks.

If your player with great ball skills cant catch my players who is too fast for them. The better player is the faster one . If your not fast or athletic you need ball skills to make up for it. if your bigger faster stronger. ball skills are a clean looking extra.
