[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I keep seeing the sentiment that everyone knows, understands that HS soccer is low level stuff, but their kid needs to do it for the social aspect.

My kid is in HS, plays soccer and has a friends crew of both players and non players. 
The non players obviously are socializing with players, so why is being on the soccer team important for socializing?

It’s not. My kids’ friends play many different sports. They also have very tight friendships with K-8 friends in our neighborhood that attend different HS.  Not to mention friends from their club teams too. They actually see their club teammates more and travel out of state with them.[/quote]

This makes sense that as teammates they see and spend more time with their year round travel club mates than they do HS teammates for the 3 month HS season.

Yes, the soccer will be a shared interest, so a lot of the kids who are on different travel clubs are friends at school without the school team.
Sounds like a play-date concept to say you play HS soccer to socialize.

Too many adults here don't remember what it's like to be a kid. Let them play high school. Let them have fun. They will like it regardless of how bad the soccer or coach is. [/quote]
