[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Play MLS Next AD and HS soccer and stop whining.  You knew when you signed up for MLS HD you were foregoing playing for your HS.  [/quote]

We will continue to do both and allow our children to play as much as possible so they improve at a faster rate than others. If there is any punishment, which I strongly doubt, we will deal with it. [/quote]

Hi volume of poorly coached bad soccer isn't improving anything, except apparently your tolerance and acceptance of low level soccer[/quote]

As a club coach and former high school coach. I can tell you there is some very good high school boys soccer, not every team. But last years McLean, Westfield and Herndon are beat every MLS next team U17 in the area. And for a young player there can be significant benefit of playing high school. Is every team good, absolutely not. For girls soccer there is no reason for any top girls player to play except maybe the liberty district. [/quote]

In which competition did the HS teams play against the MLS Next teams?[/quote]

There is not but as a coach I can recognize talent and those teams had much more talent than any team at the u17(11th grade) mls next flex cup. High school games are available online. Watch them yourself. Don’t fall for the MLS directors narrative so they can raise fees on you every year. [/quote]

Are you comparing HS Varsity teams to MLS U17s?

[/quote]

Why is this bad, the average age of a varsity team is probably 17. Obviously older mls next teams will be better and younger will be worse. I actually think players can benefit a lot playing on different teams for different coaches. Sometimes the dynamics just don’t work for your child and sometimes they do.[/quote]

You know nothing about soccer if you think diversity of coaches is automatically a good thing 
Kids are better off with no coach than a bad coach

The Geography teacher being a part-time HS coach vs the MLS Next U17 coach with high level playing experience and years of coaching experience

Not to mention the HS team with several part-time players taking time during a break from their primary sport [/quote]

I told my son that instead of complaining about the level of play being below his club team, to instead use HS ball as a way to work on his communication and leadership skills on the field.  Players can always find something to work on, regardless of the level of play
[/quote]

It’s pretty obvious you don’t play in the Liberty District. 9th and 10th grade MLS next players can’t even get decent playing time on the varsity team and many 9th don’t make the varsity team. [/quote]

Sorry I meant to reply to the previous quote you replied to[/quote]
