the only thing similar to High School Soccer would be your DD's club team, they play the same style of game.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostSounds like you need to move. HS soccer, while not at the same level as the "top" premiere experiences around can certainly be a good experience for your player. High schools like Jesuit, Central Catholic, Camas (WA), Columbia River (WA), Sherwood and Lake Oswego are examples of great schools to play HS soccer at. Maybe you should spend your club money at making sure your kid gets into a decent school because ironically all of the schools mentioned above also lead the area academically. Maybe just a coincidence but I doubt it ;)
The soccer is terrible....
How can you throw camas in that mix?
They are coached by a guy that lives in the soccer world of the 80's!
His teams never complete four passes in a row, there is zero midfield play and he has players that can actually play the game.
High school soccer is the most direct style of play next to the Scottish first division. It is paint up to watch

They might have been referring to Camas girls? Almost exclusively girls soccer parents on TS....

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThis past year Camas and Skyview were ranked top 2 boys teams in WA state. Most of the boys on those 2 teams also happened to play on the WT_FC Reds U18 team that won WA State cup. Skyview even had a 2-time Gatorade player of the year on the roster. The soccer they played was very good, believe it or not.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYes, it came as a shock though the 2 time Gatorade player who is excellent did not make Timbers academy. Something is up with that. Best player in area does not make Timbers Academy team. Crazy
In the academy you have to know how to play

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostPlayed midfield and he knows how to play. But good try anyway.
I'm sure playing in the middle for his High School team he was a rockstar but an Academy player I'm sure there were 15 others just like him.
Where is he going to college?
He will end up playing in the back in college

HS soccer = higher (serious) injury risk?
In addition to coaching quality and style of play (as already debated here), one might want to consider if there is a higher risk of serious injury at HS. I've heard that unlike club or elite development programs, HS (even top teams) will expose players to kids who play with less control and poorer judgement due to a lack of technical / tactical skills and game experience. If you want to stay healthy for college, this should be a consideration as well.

We lets be honest the Barca way and Spanish style was truly blown apart by Holland in the WC and by the German teams in the Champions League. It history now the next phase of the game is here. fast powerful play forward ball movement but not long ball play. Support the ball but with pace. Look at Belgium young team growing every year, players playing in all the top leagues around Europe.
