[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What happened to high school soccer? My husband played in one of the FCPS high schools back in the 90s and he talks about how good hs teams were back then. ODP was a big deal back then too. is it  :) just because all the clubs took over? When did this all start? In the early 2000s?
Is it just because people realized club soccer was where the money was at? Sad since I would have loved for my son to play hs school soccer but reading all these stories makes me think it’s not a good idea. [/quote]

All boys used to play it.  You had all the usmnt and former US pros playing HS.

Now the best boys are at MLS academies and in MLS Next. They don’t play high school.[/quote]

Yes. I played HS soccer with Mia Hamm:). So true for the girls too.[/quote]

I'm the same generation and played with and against lots of players who went on to play at a high level in college and as pros. It seemed to matter more. HS Soccer games were the main event during the spring season. For the guys who still played club soccer, it seemed like it was practice to get ready for the high school season. Most people I knew played fall and winter HS sports and cut back on or didn't even play club anymore by high school - even the ones who kept playing after HS.[/quote]
