What’s wrong with it?


Bad coaching (pressure to win, injury rate, subpar training, zero development, etc)


Seeing that a majority of the HS coaches are Travel coaches....

Hmmmm.....


Did you read the stuff on the parentheses?

Hmmmm.....


The basic structure of HS soccer, regardless of the coach, simply makes development and playing anything but the simplest style of soccer impossible.



Can you reorganize your thoughts? Not sure if you meant that the structure of HS soccer means simple soccer can or cannot be played. Halp!

I can say the same about nearly any club in the DMV. If you can’t you aren’t paying attention.


What showcases will your DC’s high school team going to play in?

Excuses. My DD’s coach is phenomenal and they almost won it 2 years ago without a loss. State semifinals in penalty shootout unfortunately.
The players developed more than at their club with their so called A license ECNL coach. Go figure.

You and many have a lot of prejudices and cannot see past them. Could be because you or your child are mediocre and subpar like you say. And want to channel that frustration towards the coach.

Pressure to win? Is this a joke!? Cause it’s a bad one. Please point towards a program, club, or school who teaches to lose. I’ll wait.


Name your DD’s coach and I’ll answer your question.

We did get patches.


Now they get rings. Usually the school and parents split the cost 50/50 though

My DD is a senior and her school has a serious shot at state championship. She’s already committed but I know it’d make her super happy to go start her collegiate career with a ring on it.


I know some players who have already committed are taking advantage of the online classes and finishing up HS a semester early to start training with their college team in the spring since NCAA plays in the fall. What club is she at?
