So the kids not dressing just hang out with the parents like spectators? good God.

Sounds ridiculous. Go find yourself a team where you can at least dress.

Consider it a preview of how it would be like in college soccer. With rosters of 28 there are many who don’t get to dress at least for the away games. Home games they will be there standing on the sidelines.

Not just college but even in high school it works like that.

Yeah our high school has like 15 subs that rarely see the field. They do dress and go to everything, but spend 90 minutes on the bench. It sucks because they get zero exercise and it’s a time suck—missing other things to sit on the sidelines jr/sr year.

In high school, its fun just being part of the team.

For club, you are paying for your kid's soccer
development. Totally different.

HS soccer is not free either. Cheaper than club since it’s not year round. But between the cost and time commitment, it’s a lot to just sit on the bench.

SYC coaches will send out roster the night before the game.

Very little advance notice once you get older. You fight for your roster spot every game and it’s based on how you do in practice . So like 24 hours in advance for home games and maybe 72 hours for away. Sort of like college.

Any other way is more akin to Rec soccer and equal playing time..

Realize people have lives but you signed up for competitive soccer so…

The lies people tell themselves! LOL!

Eh, if players aren’t fighting for roster spots at practices, what’s the point? You practice as hard as you play games.

It's supposed to be a team sport, not an individual junkyard dog fight.

If MLSNext is supposed to be focused on development, the individual dog fight is where its at.

You have your answer- go play rec. where everybody gets a medal and minutes just for being on the team. 😂

$500 plus. But private school, and seems to be in line with other schools

NP. We pay dues for our public HS team which cover the costs of meals for the players after home games, food for host parents to serve to the kids at team dinners, and expenses of end of season celebrations. We also are expected to volunteer to sell tickets and handle the concessions stand. It’s far cheaper than club (several hundred dollars vs. several thousand) but not cheap for a season that only lasts a few months max.

+1 And the time involved for families to help keep the costs down is also a commitment.

I hope you recognize how privileged you are to ask such a judgmental question.
