Anyone who has watched high level soccer shouldn't get any more excited about Gonk or Westborough than Shrewsbury.
Parents are deluding themselves thinking the winning teams have a lot of good soccer players. Those teams may have some faster or more athletic players but that's about it. Some of the winning teams have a good throw in person or have more aggressive players. Watching these teams for four years is proof that girls HS in Massachusetts is not very good.
Here's a question, will any of these girls play one game after their senior year? Will any actually go on and play in college? I'm guessing 5-10 percent tops and maybe even less.

You'll get no argument from me that most parents are deluding themselves or that most of high school soccer is kickball and not very good, but so is most of club soccer.
Did Wachusett play kickball last year?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostNot the OP, but I would define it as trying to play with the ball in the air more than on the ground and instead of passes that possess through the thirds of the field, kicking it as far forward as possible and chasing it.
Wasn’t sure what it meant
What does “thirds of the field” mean?
My daughter has played club ball for years and is a 4 yr starter at high school and I’ve never heard that term...
I played in college as well (though only d3)
We just hear “send it”
