It's getting shot down, however, I could see this. NL, in this case, not being what NL currently is. For example, we'll see the formation of a new girls super league of the best GA and ECNL yeams where it's BY and no HS (basically the ECNL 10-month program, for instance).

Most of ECNL, the part focused on college and trapped players, will essentially be considered regional.

ECNL definitely changing age groups up. GA/MLSN are most likely staying BY.

ECNL and all of US Club will goto a 9/1 cut off.

If GA gets rid of high school that will be a death sentence. The majority of girls want to play with their high school teams.

My daughters GA team is doing High School right now (west coast).

There's been 4 injuries playing high school ball and 2 are 9+ month recoveries.

My kids a trapped player so she'll be in HS next year. It will be interesting to see how many choose to skip playing in HS next year. All the drama to play on a HS team where some dumb heffer will try to take you out if they're losing doesn't sound fun. If she does play I'm going to tell her to flop and get off the field if opponents start targeting. HS soccer is not worth getting hurt.

The top ECNL teams do not encourage playing HS soccer.

Or that recruiters don't have existing networks to identify top players who haven't already reached out to them.

People really think college coaches are going to tournaments hoping to find last minute diamonds no one knew about.

You seem to have a vested interest in BY. SY will change things as kids will look different playing with/against players older/younger on "teams" in league and showcase games. Different positions, less or more dominant. It's ok, the world will move on. Then you you can boomer argue that the olden days were so much better.

How is this a response to the college recruiting post?

You're obviously new to competitive soccer and High School soccer as well. So I'll give you some background which will help you to understand why heffer is a very apt description.

In competitive soccer players and teams are focused on playing and winning. They practice 3-4x a week year round (again west coast) and focus on what kind of edge whatever it may be that translates to a win. Some teams have had the same roster for years.

In High School soccer coaches take what they can get trying to quickly figure out how to win. "Take what they can get" means players that go to their high school that can play soccer. Some schools are going to have a deep pool of talent to pull from. Other schools will barely be able to field a team.

In general whenever a team gets blown out they get frustrated. When they get frustrated they start fouling. If a team never wins midway through the season players will look to punish others because they know they're not going to make it to the winners circle, playoffs, whatever.

This is what I'm talking about. This is why you don't see really good teams going out of their way to play not good teams in club. Unfortunately in high school soccer it happens all the time.

Reguarding the heffers comment one of the primary reasons some high school teams don't win is specifically because their players aren't in as good of shape as their competition. These are the teams that don't win. These are the teams that are looking to hurt/injure their competition because they've got nothing to lose.

Make sense now?

You write a couple sentances (likely responding to yourself) defending the heffers.

Hmm...

This reminds of the scene in Moneyball. The answer is always 'cause he gets on base but many can't adjust.

Lol guess they are embarrassed to respond. Feel sorry for someone who thinks it’s ok to name call children because they are upset with the way their own life turned out and want to live through their kid…

Nothing says anonymous forum quite like someone responding to being called out as unhinged with something even MORE unhinged.

Your point didn’t need to be made, everyone already knows it, some girls just really want to play high school with their friends cause it’s fun and do they take the risks inherent with playing with less experienced girls. However even if you felt you had new information for us all you definitely could have made it without name calling teenage girls, and I am deeply concerned about any parent who chooses to do that. Shows a true lack of understanding of the pressures teenage girls are under and a shocking lack of care for how dangerous casual comments like that can be.

Therapy really would help. It’s a fantastic resource!
