[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Prediction - SSSAS beats STA this week, signaling a rise of its soccer program to match its lacrosse program.[/quote]

Inapt analogy because the best HS lacrosse players do play for their school teams -- HS soccer has the best players scooped off by the Academy system.  And IAC lacrosse is a top league nationally -- not so for IAC soccer teams, which would be beaten by California middle school teams.  And, at least from this thread, unless you can beat the Landon team, closest thing around to the U.S. Men's National Team, you're nothing in the IAC.  They only lost because they were so very tired from beating a TOP Jersey side the day before, after all!  So, it's all about Landon.  Right?[/quote]

Having watched many a HS soccer game, the academy payers that end up coming back and playing for HS, have a much better experience than club. When the whole school is there watching your team take on a rival,that is camaraderie that you can't buy. It's too bad that club soccer took that away from so many. [/quote]

My son is playing for his HS soccer team for the first time as a senior.  Academy "paid off" I guess, in that he's been recruited.  But part of me feels guilty that I've deprived my son of the soccer team experience in high school.  He is having so much fun playing this fall, and I totally echo the comment about "camaraderie that money can't buy."[/quote]
