[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of MCPS HS JV teams don’t get or have enough good players. In addition, JV coaches allocates playing time almost equally amongst the players (ie like Rec.). They try to focus on development rather than wins (so they say).  If a JV player shows potential, they have an opportunity to move up to varsity during the season.

HS varsity coaches play the best players for wins. There’s no guarantee of playing time. On the girls side of MCPS HS varsity soccer, the good teams (QO, Whitman, etc.) do possession-type soccer while the bad ones continue to do kick-ball.  Coaches can only use tactics based on the skillsets of their players.

Not all MCPS HS are created equally. Some have a large soccer/student population to choose from based on the size and location of the school.  Certain areas of MCPS has a consistent amount of ECNL/EPD players from year to year, while others do not.

I have a DD in varsity soccer, so I can only speak to girls JV and varsity soccer. I don’t have a DS. [/quote]

Yes and if you are a very skilled player in a group of kick ballers, you will ride the bench.

Once you know what your high school team values, you may choose to go play in a league where college coaches care.  They don't care about high school soccer at all.  My kid has been told by multiple college coaches, high school soccer does not matter for recruiting purposes.  They only care about ECNL/MLSnext.[/quote]
