Girls Only Site?

[Guest]

It seems that just about every thread is about girls. Is there a separate location I'm missing that is for boys teams and topics?

No boys are here too. Just girls parents are more nuts and keep writing on here. More drama with the girls side aparently

That and on boys side it is either pro-path or nothing which basically means MLS over all and then everything else way down low.

Important dynamic is that for boys, the transition to soccer being purely recreational happens way earlier. You get LUNATIC boys parents when their superstar is U8 to U10, but by the time they are 11 and they realize they arent turning pro and there's almost no college prospects, they select out of these type of sites, naturally,

Girls parents stay locked in since there's more college programs, more possibility for placement and scholarship and so it remains an objective longer and for more players.

There is also a bit more consistency with girls skill level over time where some boys tend to make huge leaps once puberty hits vs others. Kid that was on my sons team from U-littles and hands down the best player on the team for most of those years through 9v9 was cut before this season at U-14

No. It’s just that nobody cares about boys soccer.

Soccer is like Field Hockey. Boys do play it, just not in this country

This is something you learn with time but this is dead on. Boys chances of making anything out of it in this country is almost nothing. Girls shoot for college.

Oh 1000%. In middle school, boys' parents are mostly normal and settled into reality. It takes girls parents a lot longer to stop taking this all so seriously. If your kid has talent and drive they can and should spetnitnout themselves. Your job is to help them find the best place for them to play, drive them to practices and games, and cheer the team on.

Absolutely, and it may not even be substantial scholarship $ but admissions into better schools than they could without soccer.
