What is deal with endicott. I only have heard of this school in this page. Are they any good?

They have become a bit of a punching bag. Decent-ish teams definitely not top, and fine but not top D3 academics either. Pretty campus on the water. Point is to play at Endicott and many other D3s playing ECNL or MLS is definitely not a requisite to get a spot. Giving up HS soccer to wind up there probably stings a bit for some MLS/DA alum. Some are happy to give up HS, for others it's a very difficult choice.

High school soccer is horrible

High school soccer is horrible, My daughter didn’t play HS soccer, instead choose to run xcountry, her choice. Thought that HS soccer was not well coached and too many injuries, Not everyone wants to play HS, some choose to do other sports, everyone has choices, and she still had the experience of competing with her friends... that HS experience that everyone talks about and still able to play soccer with her club

our high school coach showed up a minute before 1st training and left 15 minutes before last practice. Didn't say one word to anyone in between. Good hire you lazy sob athletic director. Glorified bus scheduler. My kid will run cross country if this idiot of a coach shows up again. Pretty pathetic

wah wah wah HS soccer sucks. Yes, some of it is terrible. Some coaches are terrible. But some of it's pretty decent and the more successful programs have good coaches with some experience playing or coaching at the club level (not the stereotypical history teacher). More kids want to play than not. In fact the ones that don't play are in the small majority. If that many wanted to escape teams like OW wouldn't struggle to fill their rosters with quality players. If players love it, great. They have an option. Or they can skip the fall altogether if they wan. That was always an option even before GDA. But GAL is a joke at this point and giving up HS soccer for that seems pointless.

Overly verbose like your understanding of the game

Guess you didn’t understand the original post, loves the game but rather than play kick ball with the history teacher coach, she chose another sport, where she can bond with teammates for that high school experience, and enjoy herself rather than the frustrations of learning the game with the history teacher, again not everyone enjoys high school soccer and not every high school is lucky enough to have a REAL coach

There' right or wrong answer - every kid needs to do what's good for them.
