[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Huh. I'll admit my son isn't in an elite soccer right at this moment, but he has done a good deal of elite-adjacent soccer and is pretty good. His team (a W in MCPS) is competitive and the games look nothing like what you describe. Also their coach is very good. I guess this varies by school or county?[/quote]

I mean this kindly, most parents have zero idea what 'good soccer' looks like.  And there is such a huge gap between an MLSNext/ECNL game and 'elite-adjacent' soccer.  The jump to speed of play and decision making is 3-folds higher. It takes most kids a full season to adjust to the higher level.

I know the parents at our high school think it's wonderful soccer.  It is so painful to watch and to see what is going wrong and the coaches throwing sideline tantrums and screaming with zero idea how to 'right the ship'.[/quote]
NP. I’m wondering if the poster you are responding to is a fellow parent on my son’s JV team at a W school. We have an older child who played DA and D1 at a top program, and are aware of what good soccer looks like. Our coach is terrific and the boys are skillful. Of course the level is not going to be what you see on a top club team, but the kids play an attractive style of soccer.  Same is true for several of the other teams we play, though I’ve certainly seen plenty of teams play the way OP describes. [/quote]
