[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 9th grade son is trying out for his high school soccer team (Chantilly HS, if that matters). The coach is insisting that Varsity kids run a mile in 5:30, and that JV kids run a mile in 6 minutes flat. That seems reasonable to me, and my son can do it. However, it appears that a lot of the other kids trying out cannot. Is it a hard-and-fast rule for most area high school teams? If not enough kids can run the mile appropriately, does the coach open up the tryouts to other slower kids?[/quote] This is a poor test of soccer fitness and shows that the coach is clearly not knowledgeable about the sport. While I assume your son's participation in hs athletics is as much social as anything else, I would be ready for a season of subpar coaching, potentially dangerous "fitness" routines, and likely a frustrating experience for your son unless he's a starter. Welcome to world of HS sports in VA.[/quote]
