My son is a HS freshman, playing his first varsity game in a preseason match over in Central Florida. After a few years of competitive club ball, this ended up being really painful to watch. Nothing but long balls, blind clearances and reckless collisions. Never making the simple pass to build towards a goal.
Makes me really see how well the clubs do in terms of teaching soccer the right way. That being said, I've never seen my son smile bigger than he did after the game. He had a lot of fun playing with his buddies in a lower pressure environment, so there are pros and cons. But boy was it ugly!
