This is one of the most ignorant and stupid threads ever. And that is saying something.

Watch the top U11 Stars teams play- it's that kind of passing and combination play that's missing in HS soccer. The coach is basically saying "Why can't HS Soccer be played at as high a level as HS Basketball?"

If it's so bad their little darlings can now do DA ten months a year. It will make the sidelines more enjoyable while we're having fun watching our kids play (if you sit facing the sun and squint a lot you don't notice the quality so much).

He's a real winner, Natick HS...
As members of the Natick High School Athletic program, students and coaches are expected to demonstrate proper respect for each other, other teams, coaches, teammates, officials, spectators and equipment. Student-athletes and coaches are expected to exhibit the highest level of conduct, both on and off the playing field, as they are, at all times, representatives of their team, school and community. While winning is a natural goal in the pursuit of excellence and athleticism, the principles of good sportsmanship and enjoyment of competition take precedence at all times and enhance the educational value of contests.
Does the GDA have a coach code of ethics like this?

HE IS A LAZY COACH.
I was actually at the recent Natick vs Brookline. Both teams are very talented and the Brookline GK is a top, top player. But the difference in style with her being encourage to punt and kick every ball as far as she can was clear for all to see.
In fact brooklines best chance came from natick trying to pass, a mistake and brookline being rewarded an easy chance. Natick didnt change their style even though a mistake was made.
If you cant understand why one style suits the development of players vs the other then just dont post. because you'll never understand. and no development doesnt stop at 14/15.
The U16 and U18 age groups are crucial for player development. Look at how many 'top' teenagers fade out at pro clubs. Its a very important time for players.

No coach that walked into that job a couple years ago was going to walk away after a just year or two, it wasn't a mystery that they'd be very competitive for the South and state title, but it's not like he's planning on staying forever or doesn't have every incentive to bash HS soccer before he leaves. At some point, he'll actually convince players from his own school to play GDA, not just all the other schools around him.
