[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

I think you're reading a great deal into your interpretation of what I said. I never said my kid's high school has absolutely wonderful next-level soccer. I said it doesn't look like they're lobbing the ball around like noobs, as PPs describe. [/quote]

...and to expand on that, the coaches don't throw sideline tantrums, scream, or need to right any ships. Again, it's not MLS next. But it's not what you desire. I am curious what schools you're watching. [/quote]
Ones where one of the coaches gets a yellow or red every single game.[/quote]

That's not my experience in a single game. And it doesn't seem normal at all. Are the coaches parents? Teachers? Or actual coaches? Our public school coaches are actual coaches. [/quote]

Teachers. Private school.

I think there is a lot less BS in public school.[/quote]

None of them have coached Club.  They have coached high school for years.[/quote]
