[quote=Anonymous]Any scholastic soccer is usually painful to watch, including D1 college. There are some teams that play a possession game, but mostly it's over the top. I understand why though. The levels of players can be at opposite ends of the spectrum on a HS team, so playing less technical usually wins out, if you just don't have enough kids who can handle the ball under pressure. Also, the non-FIFA substitution rules just reinforce that type of game. Some players excel at that and some don't. The big, fast center forward will more likely benefit from it. The midfielder with great skills ends up watching the ball fly over their head all game. Winning is winning though and that's how you keep a job as manager. I will say that playing in school has a lot of other benefits though, socially and otherwise. I wouldn't necessarily dissuade a kid (unless they are truly elite) from playing it. Is it better quality than U17/18/19 club soccer though? Definitely not. [/quote]
