Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThat is a ridiculous statement. Most of the players on my son's HS team played club ball as did most of the players on teams we played. HS soccer is no more dangerous by hacking players than a game against Strictly. If your son needs to "protect himself" against any team it would be club play against the thugs at Strictly.
I'd say the same thing about club soccer if U15 teams played regularly mixed in with/against a U18 club.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostNo offense but this is patently untrue. Even if you discount the widely varying level of skill, the fact is that at the beginning of his freshman year my 14 year old was playing against 17-18 year olds. The simple rules of physics state that as a result, HS soccer is more dangerous (for boys) than club soccer because a larger object (18 year old defender) has a greater opportunity to impact against a much smaller object (14 year old mid or forward).

Believe it or not, some of the best players in Miami-Dade county choose not to play Academy because of the social, $$$ and prestige factor that work in favor of HS.
Of course everything depends on the school and what type of program they run. Coach should know how to integrate, young talented players into the system in a safe manner. I can tell you that in my son's school.... soccer is a big deal. Id rather not turn this into a Talking-High School Soccer thread, so I digress.

Really though we enjoyed it. The only problem that I noticed was there were truly too many games per week. 2-3 games a week plus practice is a lot. And in Central Florida it can get really cold up in the stands!

Strictly is thuggery, no skills, and even less class.

Chargers
We don't care about WFF or Suckly.
Until those teams beat the Chargers this year, they are the new number 1.

Good luck to all the teams startinh the FSPL season this weekend.
There are a couple of good matchups.
NFM vs Toros should be good game and good test for both.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYes. We all know WFF are the better team. So why do you WFF parents keep having to come on here and talking crap about Strictly. The kids on the WFF team are good but most of the parents are aholes and have no clue about soccer. They only played each other once and WFF were lucky to escape that game with a tie. Ever since they have been bashing Strictly and calling the players thugs and shirt pullers, etc. Shows you the soccer IQ of this person. So WFF has never pulled a shirt or commited a foul to gain an advantage ? Come on be for real. It is part of the game at every level.
There are occassional tugs and pulls, but when that is your entire strategy it is YOU that have no soccer IQ. When you have a ref that calls a clean game you are nothing.
