[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't expect much in HS soccer, no matter how good your kid is.  9th/10th grader playing high level ball doesn't translate into standout in HS because it's 100% speed and size.  Now, when your young ecnl/mlsnext player is a 11/12 grader they will dominate because the size/speed thing isn't an issue anymore.

Don't invest time into guessing why my skilled freshman isn't playing, he's prob just not fast or big enough.  Keep supporting their efforts!  [/quote]

This is true for most but if they can figure it out and adapt to the pace at a young age they are going to be special. If you think high school is a track meet, you should really go watch the college game all these mls next player/parents want there kid to play. It is very sloppy and looks more like a high school game with extreme pressing for 90 minutes. watch the UVA vs VT

I was going to say. Isn't speed and athleticism where the game ultimately goes for all these players? We focus on skill, mind set and understanding of the game but aren't those prerequisites for what is ultimately a grueling physical sport determined by quickness, speed, power and toughness?

You obviously don't know what quality high level soccer is.

You just described tackle football and rugby[/quote]
