[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Listen- this is a dumb thread. No serious (elite club level) is playing HS soccer to develop or for the competition. They are playing for the fun of it, to play with friends, to ride the bus to away games, to get cheered on by classmates. And there is lliterally nothing wrong with that.

And hey- if they are good, they may even earn Gatorade player of the year (for which you MUST play HS not club-- and which can help with college). But that is not why they play. They play because its a differnet experience entirely than club.

So much vitrol and hate. Why don't we just cancel all HS sports because it's not going to lead to further development and college recruitment. Dumb. Let these kids live a little and have fun playing with friends for a few months of the year.

And, yes, there are teams in the DMV whose play is pretty high level. Go watch Gonzaga, St. Albans or Episcopal...big chunk of those players are top club players at mls or ecnl....

Nope HS soccer sucks.[/quote]

Who cares. They wouldn’t be able to field teams if it wasn’t fun or it was terrible in the way you are suggesting. Lots of MLS kids play HS but none I know play rec anything. As a general rule of thumb kids don't waste time on stuff that sucks unless their parents make them. So guess they like playing for their HS. [/quote]

Kids don’t choose to play sports for their high schools. Parents decide which high school their kid is going to play for.[/quote]
