[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While the times seem really hard to meet unless you are in shape, I agree it is just to weed those out that are out of shape.  The frustrating thing about it is that there are probably plenty of super fast sprinters that hate running distance and can't hit those targets.[/quote]

5:30 should be attainable by any high school soccer player who has trained for even a few weeks.  And a kid who can't do this is going to struggle to put in a full 90 minutes.[/quote]

530 is a ridiculous threshold for a mile. 7 is realistic and 630 is pretty optimal and 6 is a dedicated fast endurance athlete. 
I couldnt run a 10min mile but I still played entire games on defense and kept sprints with all of the forwards. I was also a brick, other girls could charge me and they literally bounced off of me. I could also clear the ball and throw in better than any of my teammates as I had a lot of upper body strength. There are other attributes for soccer. This is also HS soccer not club. [/quote]
I ran sun-6 minute miles (female). I could also out sprint almost all other players. And I am not petite - stronger than most girls. 
Being able to run a mile fast is a good test of both endurance and speed.[/quote]
