Q: "what would you say the caliber of soccer is from the prep school soccer to what you may have here in Canada with the [Canadian pro academies]. If you compare the caliber of soccer what would you say the caliber of prep school soccer is?"
A: "it certainly depends on what team you're playing. Certain [unintelligible pause] South Kent. But there are some teams under that caliber that we play, which is too bad. But I'd certainly say the academies are a much higher caliber but this is still a great caliber to play; a great game to play at the prep school level."
I think the dead air was referring to South Kent being on Berkshire's level. But he definitively says the Canadian pro academies are a much higher level than prep.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThe pause was long. S Kent is a good example but if you go and look at the Berkshire schedule there were several other teams that Berkshire won by just one goal- Taft, Milton Academy, pomfret for example . Then there were others with 5-0 like scores- those are the ones that I think he was referring to as being much below Canadian DA academy level.
(S Kent is always a tough game for Berkshire - their only loss in 2016 en route to NEPSAC A championship where SK won NEPSAC B).

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI think we agree to disagree (on such a silly point) but my thought is he said something like "certain teams are at the caliber we play, like south kent". Because the next sentence is talking about teams below the Berkshire caliber. The final conclusion is that while prep < MLS DA, prep is still a great experience (directly addressing the question). I think you're confusing the "we" as Canadian MLS DA, versus I think the intent, which is "we" = Berkshire.
