[quote=Anonymous][b]This is my kid's take on HS:[/b]

Hello Parents,

I know HS soccer starts this week.  Just wanted to provide some information based on observations of young HS age players I have coached over the years. 
-  HS soccer playing experience is fun and can be productive.
-  HS soccer quality  varies a lot from school to school.
-  HS soccer is typically very physical and often less technical.
-  I have seen HS soccer benefit some players and also seen it be counterproductive for others.
-  Varsity Teams: more quality. Better sessions. More physical with older/heavier players which increases risk of injuries.
-  JV Teams:  less technical. Lower quality sessions.

In summary. It is totally fine for players to give HS a try.  However be mindful that injury risk increases when one of our smaller players is placed on varsity and is playing vs kids older and heavier that rely more on the physicality of the game rather than technique. Also, if some of our players end up on JV, I’m not sure the training sessions would be productive. A good but not often available option is for kids to train full time with varsity and play a combination of JV/varsity.

Please note that regardless what our players choose to do, we will be holding quality training sessions with... (combined teams)
