And it's so 'cool' that is was 'all him'. Does he let you in on any other life changing household decisions or simply tell you to keep your cliché addled ***** in your room?

For this kid who seemingly didn't want to play HS soccer there are two possible explanations. He's either lying to you or he doesn't have any friends on the team.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostLocal DAP is a joke. Many HS programs are a better option. I think that Braintree, KP, Nauset, Medway are all contenders from the south. And Wayland, CC, Masco, Somerville, Lexington LS are contenders in the North. Not sure about West.
Needham not on your list? South Sectional finals last year....Although they did get squashed by Braintree last year.....
I don't know if they are able to replace league all star goalie but many of the rest are returning.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostFirst off there are some good players on da teams in the area. 5 to 6 max per team. Then you have these soft 2 teir da player who fill-in the roster. These roll players are the one's who say HS sucks, they don't have the balls to step up and play HS. You see this even at prep schools were these kids hide on DA teams , even when the prep school has an excellent soccer team. It's pretty sad because they know they're no better than the average HS player.

Coaching is basically non-existent and they might as well be renamed Skill Cemeteries because they are where natural ability goes to die.

The argument to play high school ball is a good one, but not necessarily to become a great soccer player. It is great to play for your town in front of your family and friends, the latter of which rarely will show up to a club game.
High school sports is like joining a club and the gain is mostly social.
The exception is when your high school is a good team and the coach is a real coach.
That said, high school soccer is not great soccer. It is a fast pace forward moving seemingly chaotic game played by decent athletes and mediocre soccer players. The 'sweeper-back' remains and the kick and run game predominates.
Club soccer is a far better game of soccer and coaching is superior. However, it is less likely to provide long-lasting friends the way high school does. Playing high school ball mainly satisfies the social and community needs in kids.
