[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The harsh reality is some "top level" travel soccer players just aren't that good - but once they are in the system can hold onto their place.

New environment, no prior history, fresh set of eyes - throw in some fast, strong athletic kids from other sports - no wonder travel kids can't make their HS team.

The 30 grand you paid in travel fees over the years wasn't a deposit for HS soccer.[/quote]

And it needs to be stated that HS soccer is not good soccer. You are already stating that teams are made up of "athletic kids from other sports". This is precisely why HS soccer is bad because HS soccer coaches are looking for bigger faster kids but not necessarily good soccer players.

Take that same HS team and put them up against a good travel team and they will lose. Seriously, are we supposed to take a team made up "athletes looking for something to do in the spring' with little soccer experience to actually be either a good team or good soccer?

Any big fast oaf can foul and win a ball. [/quote]
