[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's terrible. This is at the varsity level for certain sports?[/quote]

Freshmen, JV and Varsity at our school, but the varsity soccer is so corrupt.[/quote]

Parents are already working their angle with the coach for next year.  Fall season.[/quote] [b]The fix will be in.[/b][quote][/quote]

Huh? What does this mean?[/quote]

For our school (not Potomac), it means the Varsity coach picks the team a full year in advance.  Most of the team is notified a year in advance they made it already.  For incoming Freshmen, there will be a few told they will at least be on JV--some told Varsity.  And, this is boys where you can have a kid be 5'2" at the start of Freshmen year and 6'0" at the start of Sophomore year so it's even crazier.  Some parents would throw elaborate team parties to schmooze.  It's such a sh*tshow.  One parent is already having regular conversations with coach about how to get a rising Sophomore onto varsity next Fall. The good thing about soccer: high school means absolutely ZERO for college recruiting.  The college coaches have repeatedly said this.  But, for kids that really love their school and want to play for spirit and comradery with classmates and get the big scr*w job it's really disheartening.  And, as another poster said, it's not talent. Some of these kids committed to D1 soccer schools so it wasn't because they didn't deserve to be on the team.[/quote]
