[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our high school soccer coaches are the WORST.  Their 4-day tryout, all day always starts the season off with half the team injured.  They practice or have games 6 days per week and are threatened if they miss anything.  My rising senior was out with season destroying injury twice after this.

This year he’s not doing it.

Then you have the boys going from high school practice directly to club practice and still doing those games too.  It is AWFUl for a player.  My one son is doing only Club this fall and skipping high school after talking with several college coaches that point blank said they don’t care about high school soccer at all and that it’s a lower level where bad habits develop.

My younger son really wants to play both but I am drawing the line with academics at his tough private school.  There isn’t enough time in the day.

I also notice very few clubs stretch or teach how to properly treat the body. [/quote]

Clubs don't teach stretching because there is no scientific basis for it, it's just something that was always done.
