[quote=Anonymous]It comes down to the discipline and competency of the coach.  Because of the reputation of HS soccer, I don't see many top end coaches taking those roles.

They feel like what they are doing is right because they can score, but if you break down the game you quickly realize all the goals are breakaways where the back line is flat and a forward takes the long ball to the house. You play long ball 100% of the time, you will get a breakaway 5-10% of the time.  The issue becomes when you have a strong back line that just shuts that down so now they force you to move the ball and build, but if you don't know how you pretty much forfeit the game.  Just look at he ridiculous scores in the area.  8-3 win, 6-0 win, etc

In a competitive club environment, you see great games that result in 1-0, 2-1 games.  No respectable team should be allowing more than a 1-2 point differential.

As hard as it is to watch, most kids love HS soccer because of the friendships.  These are their closest friends and since they are all in the same HS they most likely come from similar backgrounds.  My club kid plays for a big Prince William club and constantly gets joked about because he's from Loudoun and is perceived as rich and soft.     [/quote]
