[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why people in the DC bubble were surprised that Trump won. Their collective heads were so far up their own a$$e$ that they couldn't tell heads from tails even though the signs were all around them.

I can post a dozen letters/interviews from established clubs explaining why they either left the DA or turned down an offer.  HS is always one of the leading considerations. There are girls who live and attend HS in DC/MD but play at McLean. If they hated HS ball, they would bail on HS and just do McLean. But they don't because they like HS.

Again, HS is weak but the girls still like playing for their HS. . Don't tell me girls who play at McDonough, St. Johns, Good Counsel, Mercy, Spaulding, Sidwell, Maret, GV, Whitman, QO, etc., don't like HS. I have gone to the games. Those girls love playing for their HS teams.

If Pipeline does end up going ECNL, you can bet that one of the main considerations was that their girls wanted to play HS.

HS is weak and you can stop there. It is weak. There is no upside. It is poorly coached, poorly officiated, plays to the lowest tactical level that can be cohesively designed for a ever changing roster over 3 short months.

It is 6 days a week, multiple games per week. Training is geared mostly towards fitness with little balance or care for the overall health of the girls. The variance of experience from level of club soccer to 4 year age and playing experience difference turns the game into the simplest of styles geared solely for the quickest possible results.

It, is awful. Half the kids playing are so bad the game needs to be simplified or is automatically simplified by a unsophisticated coach just to get the most out of the weakest links on the team.

Yup. No upside. Just call it off. Cancel HS soccer. Also, call off most other HS sports as it's just a waste of time. I guess we can keep football and basketball, but screw the rest.

While we are at it let's call off D3 college sports. That's useless too. They aren't going pro.

A team that changes every year and only plays together 3 months a year is destined to be terrible and the lowest form of organized soccer in spite of the talent.

BSC claiming how arduous 4 days a week of DA practice is for kids yet believes 6 days a week with multiple games a week IS fine. [/quote]

HS teams around here have more continuity than club teams. The soccer isnt the reason why girls like it. Its not about the soccer.[/quote]

Lord, then why play?  Save the money and do something else. [/quote]

Now you're just being argumentative. Girls play HS soccer for the social aspect, not for the quality of the soccer. It's not like it's expensive.[/quote]

No, if it's not about the soccer, be one of those multisport people like they talked about on another thread.  Do something else.  I highly recommend it in fact.  That's better than playing high school soccer. [/quote]
