[quote=Anonymous]"The purpose is to teach kids a sport that many haven't played before in order to have enough players for the varsity a few years later. That's not necessary for soccer." At my competitive HS, Freshman soccer was about breaking the bad habits created in travel soccer. I don't mean that the travel kids were doing something wrong exactly and I think travel is great to gets lots of kids playing time. The problem was that there were more and more travel teams and so all the kids that made JV were formerly the best player or two on one travel team or another. This gave them expectations and skills that didn't mesh well in a couple weeks of practice before their first JV season. Once they started a freshmen team, the JV and varsity teams improved.[/quote]
