[quote=Anonymous]Are we talking about boys? I thought best club travel players aren't supposed to/ allowed to play HS soccer?  Or is it that they don't want to waste time on it? I do not understand US obsession with Youth soccer. I am from Europe, tiny country that is going to the World Cup. And our team absolutely sucks compared to other teams. I watched one HS team that made MCPS semis or even finals...can't remember. Honestly, it is so, so bad, un-watchable almost. I mean there was one offensive player making it deep into other's team and then nobody else, and not because they were slow runners, they made no effort to even get there. The other team did similar and stayed in their half for the most part. Parents told me that is the tactic coach wants them to play. I think US kids and parents should pursue sports they know and have made great success with. You don't see Europe, South America trying to make in it American football in little league, do you? I know not everyone wants to be the best, it is just for fun, but given how competitive this area is, let's don't pretend parents don't want their kids to be in the best team, best HS, best everything. If we were somewhere else, I would say, great, it is truly just for fun, but not here, anyone saying different is lying. So, go with lacrosse, basketball, football, softball, mens' soccer is US is a joke at any level. If you have a daughter that is truly a rare talent, now that is something else for college and pro sport.[/quote]
