High School Soccer is the new teen recreational soccer.

Players at our school went to mls next practices and were held accountable (didn’t start) in next HS game.

MlSNext players that go to HS instead of MLSNext practices sit the bench at our club. These are ones with “waivers”- if they found out you were playing w/out one you’d get the boot because it can hurt the club.

Other than mls, club teams don’t practice or have games during the high school soccer season.

Some Eagles get recruited to D1 and then NWSL.

The only commits I know over the past few years did not play HS or they did just freshmen year.

There are many D1 commits currently playing in the MIAA A conference.

The delusion is strong with private school parents. HS soccer is rec soccer.

It doesn't matter if it's low level soccer private or public. Please shut up and go away. My kids all played high school by choice. They play Division 1 soccer because they are good at soccer and trained on their own during the high school season and during the club season. They (yes more than 1) got recruited and accepted scholarships. They loved high school soccer with their friends. I'm sure you are a parent of a kid that wants to be good, you pay a ton of money for private training and you rip high school soccer to everyone in town and on this anonymous chat. None of anything that you are talking about matters...you are clueless. Your kid has to be super fit, fast and TALENTED. The kid has to want it bad, not you the parent. They have to be one of the best players on the field at a travel showcase or playoffs when it matters. And by the way, once they get to college it's brutal, physical and very hard to find a starting spot or be a high level sub. So for all you parents working behind the scenes to use influence to get your kid on a roster at a good college program/school...they will never play one meaningful minute. If your SON is getting recruited and getting scholarship money then your SON is amazing player. Boys soccer is impossible, you have to be GREAT. If your daughter is getting recruited and scholarship money that is amazing and they will have a chance to play...but it's not easy. These are the facts.

Exactly correct what idiot would ever prioritize HS soccer over Club?

No chance at what? Playing on a rec team?

Trust me private schools throw free tuition at Next players left and right.

Absolutely true. Probably can categorize this with a HS Coach who really doesn’t “get it” (how lucky he is to have the mls next guys playing for him).

Can we catch up to the rest of the world if we continue to focus on high school and college?

Definitely both. There is an ego thing for the girls - this is how all the school knows that you are a great player, as no one ever goes to Club games.

But huge ego thing for parents as well. This is what they paid for all those years - private training, travel to PA or NJ every weekend.

The girls side just became a bit more like the boys side with roster caps. All this talk about making college semi-pro-ish will also change things, if true

3 things that are going to change girls soccer in the near future.
1. Non revenue earning sport (colleges will drop lots of teams)
2. NWSL is going to do a homegrown rule soon
3. No more unlimited substitutions in college women's soccer

Once these happen women's soccer will mirror men's.
