[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]

Having watched a lot of club and HS soccer with 3 boys, HS soccer is just awful.  Technical talent is limited to the good club players, but speed and size are evenly distributed among the good and poor players, so the good players end up being hacked up constantly.  It's all long ball, because the players have no hope of possessing the ball more than a few passes.  The coaching is poor, the reffing is poor, the fouling is nonstop - it is in general a very bad experience.  Would I still want my kids to play HS knowing all that?  Yes for all the other reasons metioned, but I would be much more tempered in my expectations.  [/quote]
