High school soccer is crap.

McDonalds sucks yet people still go because they like it. We aren't discussing quality if HS soccer. The issue is that girls play and thus any league that offers elite travel while also offering the ability to pursue HS is better than other options.

Pursing rec soccer is not a better option. Sorry, but the product is crap. You pay $10,000 a year for ECNL training to walk away from it for 3-4 months.

Tell me your kid made Varsity soccer and I'm unimpressed. It is a crap product, coached by crap coaches played by lots of crappy soccer players.

Not sure if you realize that more than 75% of girls in Maryland who receive D1 scholarships play in High School. I think part of the issue is HS Soccer is not as popular as MANY other places in the US. Many in the Colonial states consider High School Soccer more important than DA/ECNL. SEVEN of the TOP 10 Junior Girls in Maryland, five of which already have selected D1 scholarships, played for their high school last fall.

Now if you are talking Top 10 College Programs in the US, that may be a different story. And if your are that arrogant/ignorant to think your DD is one of them, then it is pure luck, nothing else. 98% of all girl soccer players do not receive scholarships to college.

You are that parent, you know, the one pipe dreaming your daughter is going to make a USWNT. Or hoping your DD is going to go to Stanford or UNC and warm the bench perhaps. All while they lose out on they're childhood and teenage years because you, the parent, lost site of what is really important when your DD was age 11.

That said, you can take your high and mighty attitude elsewhere and anyone else who is of the same mind and GO POUND SAND.

I am not impressed that they played High School soccer.

02 and up are still players filtering through that functioned on the old system. 04s and 03s were the beginning of change, and the real shift was more apparent in 05s. So I don't think we can yet see the full impact of having players who commit to a full year of training come through the ranks and complete the recruitment process.

PP - maybe read again. 7 high school kids who are class of 2021 - current juniors. McLean has 13 for this year's graduating class - one of whom is from Maryland by the way. Look at both links.

That poster is an idiot. I think that parent must have dropped out of High School.

Makenna Morris player for her High School team as well. So did her sister.

Also, previous poster said 7 out of top 10 players. Not the whole State.

HS soccer is fun for the kids that play just like any other school related activity. It is also not a “product.” But you seem to be very invested in calling it crap, for something you think is crap. Why so vested? I can probably guess ...

You sound a lot like you have kids playing only for themselves playing only along themselves in front of parents playing with themselves. Stop being so damned petty and realize all of your kids are probably going to be working and voting for people who never went near a pitch. Perhaps some perspective about what really matters for them in the long run? It will serve your children better than this nonsense.

You are mistaken. Many elite players get frustrated with it. It's low level, they are mashed in with players who may be athletic but lack technique. I get that some like it, and that is totally fine. But don't speak for the masses as if you did a survey.

They play because they love the game regardless of who is watching. Those elite kids who do slum it for the HS team might like the 15 more people who show up for a girls HS soccer game but they hate playing with your crappy rec kid who doesn’t know what they are doing. They hate playing for a dumb HS coach who plays a crappy simple direct soccer that can only be coached over 3 months to kids who don’t have the skill set for anything more demanding. She also hates playing against similarly bad players who only know how to foul risking injury and her college career.

It is crap played by kids who are crappy at soccer coached by crappy coaches being told by delusional parents how amazing it is.

No, they don’t prefer it to club ball. Because the club season is shut down to accommodate high school soccer they almost have no choice but to play High School if they want to play any soccer games during that time period at all.
