[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Colleges do not care about high school soccer.   But again that's not the point of playing soccer for your high school.   [/quote]

What is the point then, in all seriousness? It doesn’t seem to add anything.

We know college coaches don’t care about it and we also know college ADMISSIONS don’t care about it (unrecruited athletes are a dime a dozen -there are a million better ECs).

So why do kids play HS soccer?

I played 4 years varsity, then D3 soccer and it meant the world to me, but today it seems so professionalized or alternatively complete crap.  [/quote]

Sure I played 5 years on varsity and D1.  That was forever ago.  Even then playing highschool had zero to do with getting recruited.   But by any of that logic what is the point of playing at all.   Not all kids who play travel soccer will play in college.   Playing is supposed to be fun.  For every person who gives up high school soccer and gets that experience in college good for you.   There is the alternative though.   You give up being on your highschool team for the hope of playing in college.   Then you get injured,  don't make the team,  you make the team and sit on the bench.   There are so many possibilities and what ifs.   [/quote]
